DNA Genotek, a subsidiary of OraSure Technologies, Inc., set out to discover how to optimize DNA sample collection and meet an emerging demand for non-invasive collection methods. With the launch of its flagship product Oragene® in 2004, DNA Genotek revolutionized the DNA sample collection market. Through innovative research and development, we discovered a powerful chemistry that could stabilize DNA from saliva. For the first time, the industry would have a mechanism to collect large amounts of high quality DNA through non-invasive sampling as an alternative to blood samples. Our products allow donors to simply spit into a plastic tube in order to provide a reliable, high quality DNA sample in an easy and cost effective way. Since its launch, Oragene has become the product of choice for customers in major academic institutions, hospitals and for diagnostic testing companies worldwide.
In 2010, DNA Genotek launched Performagene™, a non-invasive method for collecting DNA from livestock and companion animals. To date in 2011, the company released three new products: ORAcollect® prepIT® and OMNIgene®•DISCOVER.
Oragene•DNA is not available for sale in the United States. Not all products are available in all regions.
