Don't be fooled! These are no ordinary buccal swabs. Isohelix swabs were developed to allow collection of much higher levels of DNA as compared to standard swabs.
Isohelix swabs can even replace venopuncture in some applications!.
Compare DNA yields from ordinary swabs and new Isohelix swabs
Average DNA yield

Paper = 0.77ug
Foam = 1.19ug
Isohelix swabs are available with either traditional breakable shafts (snap) or as new easy-removal heads (pull) that cleanly pull off the shaft for fast and efficient sample retrieval. New pull swabs come complete with a 2ml micro-tube with a unique new cap for easy n0-touch, swab head removal.
