Performagene•LIVESTOCK
Collect superior samples for your livestock genetics with DNA from nasal samples.
Overview
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.
Eliminate these challenges by collecting superior samples with Performagene•LIVESTOCK.
- Easy, reliable and cost effective collection, transportation and processing
- Barcoded for full sample traceability
- Efficient sample preparation and extraction of high quality, high quantity DNA
- DNA is stable for 1 year at room temperature
Complete Livestock Collection Instructions for this product are available here.
