Description

Kit for sampling and preserving of a specimen}

The present invention relates to a sample collection and storage kit for collecting and storing genes, that is, DNA having unique characteristics among individuals, and in particular, saliva, blood, hair, etc. in advance for various situations such as accidents. By extracting and storing safely in advance, the present invention relates to a sample collection and storage kit configured for use in various genetic disease diagnosis as well as accurate identification of an individual in the future.

Due to the recent reconciliation between South and North Korea, reunions of separated families are taking place and this is expected to continue to expand.

However, until now, the method of checking the kinship of the separated family depends on the past memories and photographs among the parties, and there are many problems. Especially, the method of checking the kinship of the descendants is urgently required in the reality that the first generation of the separated family is gradually dying. However, due to problems in the collection and storage of the current genetic identification samples, it is necessary to more easily and quickly collect and store genetic samples between family members.

DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid), the genetic material that forms the basis of life, appears to be a relatively simple molecule consisting of four nucleotide sequences of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, but it is distinctive between individuals of different types and species. It has the base sequence of. All living things are determined by genetic information, and all types of individuals are also determined by differences in genetic information.

Therefore, if individual saliva, blood, hair, etc. are extracted in advance and stored in one kit, it can be very useful for identification of accidents such as fires, identification of separated families and adoptive children, orphanage, and blood relationship. .

As a device for collecting such genes, there was a device in the form of a diagnostic test paper for storing a person's saliva, but it was inconvenient to collect and store it, and to collect and store the genes such as individual saliva, blood, and hair in one device It is a well-known fact that there have been many difficulties in verifying the identity of individuals in various accidents, such as checking the relationship of separated family members and the plane crash, because there is no appropriate mechanism to do so.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention is to extract saliva, blood, body hair in one kit in order to overcome the difficulty of sample collection and increase the accuracy of genetic recognition It is easy to provide a sample collection and storage kit that can be very useful for identification and identification through genetic identification in case of accident.
