OmniPreserve
The Evolving Need for Advanced Biological Sample Preservation
The need for reliable, long-term preservation is increasing across research, diagnostics, and biobanking. Millions of DNA, RNA, protein, tissue, and microbial samples are collected each year for genomics and biomedical research. In India alone, biobanks now store more than 2.5 million samples, creating a rising demand for safe, efficient, and cost-effective preservation systems.
Traditional freezing setups and chemical fixatives are still widely used, but they require high energy, increase operating costs, and often reduce the quality of preserved biomolecules.
Moving Beyond Formalin
Formalin has been used for decades, but concerns around toxicity, carcinogenicity, and environmental impact are pushing labs to explore alternatives. It can damage nucleic acids and cause protein crosslinking, leading to poor performance in PCR, sequencing, and proteomic workflows. As molecular testing advances, laboratories need safer, non-toxic solutions that maintain high-quality sample integrity.
Uncoded proudly introduces its first-ever product the 16S V3–V4 Library Preparation Kit for metagenomic sequencing. This 16S metagenomics kit enables scientists to investigate microbial communities by focusing on the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, a well-conserved marker found in both bacteria and archaea. Its integrated hypervariable regions facilitate precise identification of various bacterial taxa, making it perfect for extensive microbial profiling using 16S metagenomic sequencing library preparation workflows.
Introducing OmniPreserve
OmniPreserve by Uncoded is an advanced, next-generation preservation solution built to transform how biological samples are stabilized and stored. This innovative,
