Rapid freezing at -80 °C is usually considered to be best practice, but this approach is challenging. DNA stabilizing kits may provide a more convenient method to preserve and store clinical samples. We evaluated the reliability of two collection kits (Stratec stool collection tube with stabilizer, #1038111200 and OMNIgene.GUT OMR-200) on preserving fecal microbiota.en16S rRNA amplicon sequencing; DNA stabilizers; Fecal microbiota; OMNIgene.GUT; Storage condition; Stratec[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG10journal article10.1016/j.jfma.2020.01.013321115192-s2.0-85080052071WOS:000591733800009https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85080052071
