The GenSpin consists of a GenSpin basket inserted into a 2 ml microcentrifuge tube and is used for separating small volumes of fluids from collection swabs, such as the Gentueri CollectEject™ Oral, Large Oral, Touch DNA Swabs. Typical DNA applications include genetic, forensic, human identity, animal diagnostic and environmental DNA testing. The spin baskets are ideal for pre-analytical cell lysis and DNA extraction methods for Next-Gen and Sanger Sequencing, STR and qPCR protocols. The GenSpin design features a contoured bottom which directs 95% of the sample through the large openings during centrifugation. This, coupled with the ability to be spun at a lower speed than current spin baskets, allows for the isolation of large fragment sizes of DNA.

  1. Use a CollectEject™ Swab to collect a sample according to instructions.
  2. Eject the CollectEject sample tip into a GenSpin basket.
  3. Add lysis buffer to the GenSpin basket, close the tube and incubate according to your established protocols to lyse the cells.
  4. After lysis incubation, centrifuge the GenSpin Basket/microcentrifuge tube assembly for 2 minutes at 10,000 rcf.
  5. Remove the GenSpin basket with swab tip and discard
  6. Process the flow through lysate from the bottom of microcentrifuge tube according to your established protocols
