Buccal DNA Collection System

Overview

The Buccal DNA Collection system is Bode Technology’s solution for Collection, Transporting, Processing, Storing and Archiving buccal DNA samples. The system consists of several innovative products with unique features that make the Bode system, the most complete and reliable products available.

White Paper:  Evaluating the Efficiency of the Bode Buccal DNA Collector™ Compared to Whatman® FTA® for DNA Databasing proves  the elimination of a transfer step reduces cost, processing time, re-run and re-collection rates and improves the likelihood of the sample being entered into the database.

The system is comprised of:

 

Buccal DNA Collector

 

COLLECTING

Bode’s integrated Buccal DNA Collector is an easy to use, non-invasive device that collects cheek cell samples in one simple step that:

  • Maximizes the amount of DNA captured
  • Eliminates drying time and transfer steps
  • Is traceable with labels and barcodes
  • Is manufactured from materials approved safe for medical use

 

Buccal DNA Transport Pouch

Buccal DNA Archival TrayTM

ARCHIVING

Buccal DNA Archival Trays minimize the amount of space needed to store Buccal DNA Collectors. A box containing 88 collectors is less than half of one cubic foot and can be stored at room temperature.

 

Archival Cassettes with Cassette EnvelopesTM

ARCHIVING

Buccal DNA Archival Trays minimize the amount of space needed to store Buccal DNA Collectors. A box containing 88 collectors is less than half of one cubic foot and can be stored at room temperature.

 

DNA Collection Kits

The kits contain all components required for documenting, collecting and transporting a DNA sample. These kits can include a Buccal DNA Collector, a Buccal DNA Transport Pouch with Desiccant, a Specimen Identification Card, an Instruction Sheet, Gloves, and Evidence tape.

 

 

Bode Punch Prep

Bode PunchPrep enhances the use of the Bode Buccal DNA Collector with direct amplification chemistries. Bode’s validated protocols for processing the Buccal DNA collector with the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® Direct PCR Amplification kit from Life Technologies and the PowerPlex® 16 HS, 18D, and 21 Systems from Promega provide first pass success rates of greater than 80% – equivalent to the success rate processing samples on FTA paper
