DNA Capsule - A Slice of Immortality

Online, July 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - DNA Capsule is proud to announce the launch of an innovative new approach to store DNA at home. DNA preservation is something anyone with any history of genetic diseases or cancer will want to consider. It is the modern photograph, a time capsule that contains vital information about a person's ancestry that could benefit future generations.

How DNA Capsule works

We have created a patented container that can be stored at room temperature. Though we recommend getting your blood drawn by a lab, we do include a kit with instructions to draw a couple drops of blood. The blood is to be dried 6-8 hours in a dry, contaminate free area. The blood is "shrink wrapped" in a state of dehydration employing the mechanism of anhydrobiosis meaning "life without water". DNA Capsule samples can be reconstituted by any lab with just a few drops of water.

Why store your DNA

The big reason to keep your DNA is to make sure it is available for analysis later on. In the future, genetic-based testing will be more informative, more reliable and much CHEAPER!

How do I order DNA Capsule?

Individuals can purchase the capsule at the website www.dnacapsule.com

About DNA Capsule

DNA Capsule is a privately held Ohio company offering at home DNA storage services. The idea to form this company came to the owners after both lost a parent to cancer. The loved ones were both cremated, and research was started to find a way for people to save DNA. The couple came across a company that uses a matrix that stabilizes DNA at room temperature, thus eliminating the use of freezing in liquid nitrogen. This cuts cost and saves energy and emissions to our atmosphere. The capsule was created with the thought of an attractive keep-sake, while serving the purpose of preserving a person's DNA safe and secure.
