  1. 2026

    Long-term stability at -80°C of oral wash and saliva samples for microbiome analyses

    Saliva samples collected using the OMNIgene ORAL device and oral wash samples remain stable for microbiome diversity and relative abundance analyses for up to five years when stored at -80°C.

  2. 2026

    Detection of Cryptosporidium hominis by clinical metagenomics in stool samples from an outbreak of diarrhoea among British military personnel in Kenya

    A study limited by sample size found OMNIgene GUT tubes preserved Cryptosporidium DNA better than DNA Shield and FTA cards after year-long ambient storage.

  3. 2025

    Prospective evaluation of different faecal preservation media for travellers' diarrhoea diagnostic application with multiplex PCR BioFire FilmArray in resource-limited settings

    In a field cohort of 60 adults with diarrhoea, OMNIgene 200 and DNA/RNA shield maintained high sensitivity and concordance with fresh samples for most pathogens, while FTA cards showed low sensitivity for STEC and poor specificity for Campylobacter.

  4. 2025

    Stabilized and unstabilized sampling methods result in differential fecal 16S rRNA microbial sequencing results

    Taxonomic and diversity profiles differed between unstabilised swabs and stabilised OmniGene kits,

  5. 2025

    Collecting at-Home Biometric Measures for Longitudinal Research From the i3C: Feasibility and Acceptability Study

    In a one-week virtual home clinic with 134 participants, 86 per cent returned saliva and 84 per cent returned stool, and most components were feasible and acceptable despite device and logistical challenges.
