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®•DNA in 2004, DNA Genotek revolutionized the DNA sample collection market by creating a chemistry to 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®•DNA has become the product of choice for customers in major academic institutions, hospitals and for diagnostic testing companies worldwide.
In 2009, the company launched Oragene®•ANIMAL, which offers researchers and veterinarians an easy, painless and proven solution for collecting DNA saliva samples from animals. In 2010, DNA Genotek launched Performagene™•LIVESTOCK, a new method for collecting DNA from livestock with nasal samples. To date in 2011, the company released three new products: ORAcollect™, prepIT™ and OMNIgene™•DISCOVER.
