Subject: Inquiry About Genplates by GenTegra LLC

Dear All,

Does anyone have experience with using Genplates?
https://gentegra.com/products/#GentegraDNA

It is a water soluble chemical matrix that when added to purified DNA
allows it to be air-dried to form a solid matrix which coats, preserves and
protects DNA in the dry state at ambient temperatures. They say no need for
a desiccant, ice or dry ice when shipping. And because of the stability at
ambient temperatures it simply does not matter if the sample is delayed in
shipment, it will still arrive perfectly intact and ready to use. Once the
purified DNA has been combined with the GenTegra-DNA matrix and dried it is
stable and protected. And once dried it stays dry because it is not
hydroscopic and will not take up water. Long term archiving of the DNA
sample does not require either humidity control or desiccant to keep the
DNA safe. The company says GenTegra-DNA products have a shelf life of
3-years at ambient temperatures.

Who has experience with this product and where do you usually buy from?


Cheers,

Ikhide
