In general, telomere length can be assessed with blood samples. However, obtaining blood is costly and invasive. Therefore, it has been shown that saliva and oral cells can also be used as assessment samples. They are more cost-effective, more stable, and less invasive.
Abnormal alterations in telomere length are associated with the development of certain diseases. CD BioSciences offers telomere length testing services for oral mucosal cell samples, enabling accurate detection through simple and easy-to-use high-throughput assays that can be used to search for possible mechanisms linking telomere length to related diseases.
Sample Requirements
We provide telomere length measurement solutions for cervical epithelial cells. The specific requirements are as follows. If you need the remaining samples after the test is completed, we will return the samples.
- Sample type: oral mucosal cells or extracted DNA
- Container: multiple 1 mL aliquots, each containing > 106 cells, DNA sample > 1 μg.
- Collection: mix upside down, do not centrifuge or freeze, and label tubes with names and collection dates for shipping in our combo kit.
Our Services of Oral Mucosa Cell Telomere Length Measurements
Our service is focused on measuring telomere length in oral mucosa cells. We provide our clients with the required telomere length data to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic potential based on telomere length.
- Buccal swab collection
Saliva and tissue are collected primarily by using oral swabs firmly placed on the cheeks. Care is taken to preserve the sample without denaturing the DNA.
- Telomere length measurement
We offer a range of methods for telomere length detection in oral mucosa cells, such as terminal restriction fragment (TRF), quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. We can perform comprehensive telomere analysis, including information on relative telomere length, average telomere length, telomere distribution, etc.
- Data analysis and reports
We offer a complete and simple report with the telomere length of your sample and relevant interpretations. In addition, we also provide priceless insight into the study of biological aging and age-related diseases.
Why Choose Us?
- We have a deep understanding of telomere biology and its relevance to aging, including knowledge of telomere structure, function, and the implications of telomere length in aging processes.
- We conduct accurate and reliable telomere length testing for oral mucosal cells. Our team is proficient in interpreting telomere length data and translating it into meaningful insights for our clients. At last, our company provides comprehensive reports and recommendations based on test results.
- We favor ongoing research and development related to telomere biology and aging to provide a comprehensive service to our clients.
Our service measures telomere length to quantify the extent of cellular senescence in oral mucosal cells at the time of sampling. CD BioSciences will provide you with the tools you need to address telomere length testing in oral mucosal cells.
