BioFunctions™ Omni-Patch™ · Powered by Omni-Matrix™ K105

Non-invasive DNA collection,
reimagined
as a patch

The Omni-Patch captures and stabilizes DNA on skin contact, then ships at room temperature — ready for the lab. No needles. No phlebotomist. No buccal swabs. No cold chain. As easy as applying and removing a bandaid.

The Science

Capture, lyse,
stabilize

The patch carries the Omni-Matrix™ K105 polymer matrix, engineered into a skin-contact format. On contact it captures surface-borne cells, lyses them in place, and immobilizes the released DNA — intact, dry, and room-stable until the lab elutes it.

Skin-contact capture

The adhesive matrix lifts epidermal and sweat-borne cells — corneocytes and surface-associated cells — from intact skin. No abrasion, no needle, no blood, no swabs.

In-situ lysis

Captured cells are lysed where they sit, releasing genomic DNA directly into the polymer network — no separate extraction step at the point of collection.

Matrix stabilization

Released DNA is entrapped and immobilized in the K105 matrix, shielded from nucleases and oxidation — intact, dry, and stable at room temperature.

Lab-ready elution

At the lab, punch and elute into standard buffers for any downstream STR, SNP, array, or whole-genome sequencing workflow.

The Advantage

Bandaid-simple.
Lab-ready DNA.

The Omni-Patch removes the friction from DNA collection — no needles, no trained staff, no swabs, no cold chain. The figures below describe the collection format; validated yield, purity, and integrity data from internal studies are inserted here as studies complete.

1-stepPatient self-collection

Peel, place, remove — the patient does it themselves, with zero training or clinical supervision.

0Cold chain required

Room-temperature collection, transport, and storage. No refrigeration, no centrifuge, no logistics overhead.

AnyDownstream assay

Lab-ready genomic DNA compatible with STR, SNP arrays, genotyping, and short- and long-read sequencing.

Applications

One patch,
every kind of DNA analysis

Lab-ready DNA from a single, self-applied format — across clinical, consumer, forensic, and government use.

WGS & SNP genotyping

Lab-ready genomic DNA for whole-genome sequencing, SNP arrays, and GWAS panels from a single self-applied format.

Carrier & disorder screening

Inherited-disease, newborn, and carrier panels — collected at the clinic or at home, without a blood draw or buccal swabs.

Pharmacogenomics

Drug-response genotyping delivered at the point of care, with no phlebotomist, no swabs and no cold-chain logistics.

Ancestry & consumer genomics

Direct-to-consumer kits with near-zero collection failure — every avoided recollection protects margin and brand.

Immigration & border identity

Biometric DNA identity and kinship verification, field-deployable at borders, consulates, and mobile units.

Forensic & human identity

Reference and elimination samples collected in the field, sealed and room-stable for chain-of-custody transport.

Biobanking & archives

Room-temperature DNA archives that remove refrigeration and freezer overhead from large-scale collection.

Decentralized trials

Sample-from-home clinical studies and population programs reaching remote and low-resource settings.

How It Works

Four steps.
Skin to sequencer.

Peel

Remove the Omni-Patch from its sterile backing. No sharps, no kit assembly, no clinical setup required.

Place

Apply to clean, dry skin and wear hands-free for a brief moment while the matrix captures surface cells and DNA.

Remove

Peel off and seal in the mailer. The stabilized sample is room-temperature stable for standard postal transport.

Process

At the lab, punch, elute, and run any assay — STR, SNP, genotyping array, or whole-genome sequencing.

Omni-Patch non-invasive Direct Collection patch shown applied to the wrist and fingertip — as easy as applying and removing a bandaid

Direct collection in practice — the Omni-Patch is applied and removed like a bandaid, no needle and no clinical setup.

Genetic identity is the one credential that cannot be lost, forged, or swapped — and the Omni-Patch makes collecting it as simple as applying a bandaid.

Biometric DNA identity for immigration & border control

Field-deployable, tamper-resistant DNA collection turns kinship and identity verification into a routine, dignified step at borders, consulates, and reunification programs. Deployments should follow applicable consent, data-protection, and human-rights frameworks — informed consent, purpose limitation, and secure data handling.

KinshipConfirm claimed biological relationships for visa and asylum cases with court-grade certainty.

Tamper-proofBind a person to a biometric DNA identity at first contact — no document fraud, no identity swapping.

FieldNo clinic, phlebotomist, or cold chain — usable at borders, consulates, camps, and mobile units.

CustodySealed, room-stable, single-use patches support auditable chain of custody from collection to lab.

Why It Wins

Better than the
status quo

	Omni-Patch™	Venous blood	Buccal swab
Invasiveness	None — skin contact	High — needle stick	Low
Trained operator	Not required	Phlebotomist	Minimal
Cold chain	Not required	Usually required	Varies
Patient comfort	Bandaid-simple	Low	Moderate
At-home / field	Ideal	Impractical	Possible
Failure / recollection	Designed to be low	Moderate	User-error prone
