The SafeCollect Skin Collection Kit includes one EpiLift Collector and one SafeCollect Collection Tube.

The EpiLift Collector is a novel device intended for easy self-collection of skin microbiome samples that utilizes an innovative adhesive paired with a user-friendly design that is simple and convenient. The EpiLift Collector is available with DNA/RNA Shield for robust DNA/RNA stabilization.

DNA/RNA Shield completely inactivates harmful pathogens in the sample, and stabilizes the RNA in a sample for up to 30 days at room temperature. The SafeCollect design eliminates the risk of spilling the stabilization reagent during use, and is ideal for applications that require at-home self collection.
