ABOUT GutAlive®
Anaerobic microbiome collection kit
GutAlive® has been designed to collect and transport microbiota samples in anaerobic conditions enabling bacterial viability, including strict anaerobic bacteria, to warranty the original microbial composition and diversity.
GutAlive® is not available for individuals, it is commercially available for clinicians and researchers.
For ordering purposes or further information, please contact us at info@microviable.com or through our contact form.
MICROBIOME COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITY
GutAlive® is the unique microbiome collection kit that generates an anaerobic atmosphere enabling oxygen sensitive bacteria to survive, maintaining the original composition and diversity of the microbiota.
SAMPLE STABILITY OVER 72 hours
GutAlive® guarantees sample stability over 72 hours, without refrigeration, to ensure the proper atmosphere conditions for sample collection and transport to the laboratory.
HIGH CAPACITY
GutAlive® is a unique on its kind device with a high-capacity container that can fit up to 120 grams of stool sample enabling various downstream applications like fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), bacterial isolation and microbiome analysis.
PROTOCOL NORMALIZATION
GutAlive® enables to standardize sample collection and transport, without refrigeration, minimizing variations among procedures and maintaining the original composition of the microbiome, key items for downstream analysis and applications especially for microbiota-based therapeutics and diagnostics.
BACTERIAL VIABILITY
GutAlive® maintains the bacterial viability together with DNA stability and integrity, a best in class device suitable for both anaerobic bacteria isolation and microbiome analyses.
DNA STABILITY
GutAlive® is a suitable device for microbiome sampling with no limitation on DNA quality and quantity for NGS technologies and microbiome analyses through 16s rRNA sequencing or metagenomics.
ISOLATION OF DIVERSE BACTERIAL GENERA
The use of GutAlive® to collect and transport the stool sample at room temperatura enables downstream isolation of a wide diversity of bacterial genera, including anaerobic bacteria.
