The Bunny Wipe fecal sample collector is a fecal collection
device for the convenient collection of fecal material for downstream nucleic
acid analysis. Developed with a focus on at-home collection, the Bunny Wipe
provides a user-friendly method for users to collect fecal samples in the
privacy of their own bathroom. Replacing some of the traditional, more
cumbersome methods of fecal collection (collection buckets, cups, scoops,
etc.), the Bunny Wipe mimics toilet-paper for a more familiar and comfortable collection
process. By eliminating some of the mess and discomfort of traditional fecal
collection, the Bunny Wipe is perfect for applications where the user
experience is especially important.
Coupled with the Bunny Wipe sample collector is the DNA/RNA Shield Fecal Collection Tube (R1101), powered by
the DNA/RNA Shield sample stabilization reagent. These fecal collection tubes
take a microbial snapshot of a sample, while inactivating viruses, making
samples safe and ready for transport. Samples stored in these fecal collection
tubes are stable at ambient temperature, and can be frozen for longer-term
storage. Simply use the Bunny Wipe to collect a fecal sample, peel off the
collection strip containing the fecal material, and store the collection strip
in the fecal collection tube to stabilize the sample.
The Bunny Wipe coupled with the DNA/RNA Shield Fecal
Collection Tube, is the ideal product for the at-home collection of fecal
samples that undergo nucleic acid extraction/analysis. Zymo Research
offers customization solutions for customers that would like
to customize a collection kit to fit their particular application.
