Nasal swab DNA collection kit
All genetic applications start with the collection of DNA samples. Blood samples are expensive to collect, as well as complex and costly to ship, store and process. Hair follicles and ear punches are inefficient to process and can provide low quality and quantity DNA, resulting in failed samples and a requirement to recollect, incurring additional cost, effort and time. The Performagene•LIVESTOCK nasal swab DNA collection kit provides an ideal solution for producers, breed associations and processing labs.
