Sample Collection

Preserving Integrity,
Ensuring Accuracy

High-quality research starts with proper sample collection. Whether working with plant tissue, animal cells, or microbial cultures, maintaining sample integrity is essential for accurate downstream analysis. Ensuring high quality data begins with proper sample collection. AT Roc scientific, we take the time to understand our customers needs when processing samples downstream.

Shipping samples internationally? Need to keep samples stable at room temperature for multiple days without compromising sample integrity? ROC has the solution:

Collection tubes with 2D barcodes and automation friendly caps
Tailored Buffers and swabs made for keeping samples stable for weeks at room temperature
Buffers which have been vetted with various extraction protocols

Tailored Buffers

Delays can occur when shipping samples internationally. We offer buffers that have been tested on various tissue types such as ear punches, blood, saliva etc. and held at room temperature for weeks. If needed we can supply buffers that meet standards allowed by the USDA for clearance into the US.

We also work with DNA extraction kit providers and genotyping chemistry manufacturers to ensure that our buffers maximize the amount of DNA that can be recovered. Contact us to have a discussion on your overall workflow.

Barcoded Plastics

Creating a chain of custody for your sample shipment, processing and storage is crucial. Barcodes are available for ROC Scientific’s plastic consumables as adhesive 812 barcodes, molded 2d/3d matrices on tubes or custom laser etched barcodes.

Automation friendly

Low Binding Plastics and Well bottom pitch: For maximum sample recovery and minimization of dead volumes it is important to have steep “v” bottom plates.
Sample Homogenization: Grinding seeds or seed chips with metal bb’s requires a deep well plate that has dense plastic well bottoms to withstand rigorous pulse rates.

Sample Collection kits for 3rd party providers

Does your genomic services provider have specific consumable requirements for receiving your samples? Contact us to source the consumables needed. ROC may be able to save you money by providing smaller pack sizes for your sample collection needs.
