OraSure Technologies has launched OMR-205, its OMNIgene-GUT DNA and RNA product for gut microbiome researchers.
OMR-205 allows for self-collection, stabilization, storage, and transportation of both microbial DNA and RNA at ambient temperature for gut microbiome profiling. It is made by OraSure's subsidiary DNA Genotek.
"This product gives researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnical, academic, and consumer products fields a valuable tool to gain insight into the gene expression of gut microbes," Kathleen Weber, OraSure's president of molecular solutions, said in a statement.
