    Collection

    Oral

    PERFORMAgene | PG-100 Oral

    Collection precautions
    • Animal should not eat for 30 minutes or drink for 10 minutes before saliva collection.
    • Do NOT scrape the animal’s teeth or cheek with the sponge.
    • Do NOT allow the animal to chew or bite the sponge.

    Precautions: Tube contains liquid. Do NOT spill. This liquid preserves the DNA sample and is required by the lab to analyze your sample.

    Attention: Do NOT remove the cap prior to sample collection.

    1

    Place the sponge in animal's mouth at the cheek pouch as shown in figure. Collect saliva for 30 seconds by moving sponge and mopping saliva where it naturally pools (in the cheek pouch and under the tongue). For animals older than 6 months, moderate restraint may be required.

    2

    Hold the tube upright and unscrew the cap from the tube.

    3

    Turn the cap upside down and place the oral swab in the tube. Screw cap on tightly to prevent liquid sample from leaking during transport.

    Nasal

    PERFORMAgene | PG-100 Nasal

    Collection precautions

    A clean nostril provides the best DNA sample. However, traces of dirt or feed in the nostrils is acceptable. When possible avoid collecting nasal swabs immediately after the animal has eaten. Ensure the collection sponge does not touch anything other than the animal's nostril to prevent contamination of sample.

    Precautions: Tube contains liquid. Do NOT spill. This liquid preserves the DNA sample and is required by the lab to analyze your sample.

    Attention: Do NOT remove the cap prior to sample collection.

    1

    Holding the tube, rub the nasal swab inside the animal’s nostril for up to 5 seconds. Ensure that the sponge looks wet and is coated with the nasal sample to achieve the best DNA collection. For animals older than 6 months, moderate restraint may be required.

    2

    Hold the tube upright and unscrew the cap from the tube.

    3

    Turn the cap upside down and place the nasal swab in the tube. Screw cap on tightly to prevent liquid sample from leaking during transport.

    Vaginal

    PERFORMAgene | PG-100 Vaginal

    Collection precautions

    A clean vagina provides the best DNA sample. However, traces of dirt and feces are acceptable. When possible avoid collecting a sample immediately after the animal has defecated. Ensure the collection sponge does not touch anything other than the animal's vagina to prevent contamination of the sample.

    Precautions: Tube contains liquid. Do NOT spill. This liquid preserves the DNA sample and is required by the lab to analyze your sample.

    Attention: Do NOT remove the cap prior to sample collection.

    1

    Properly restrain the animal regardless of the age. Holding the tube upright in one hand, use the other hand to move the tail out of the way. Insert the sponge into the vagina and collect sample by moving the sponge up and down 5 times. For animals which have significant visible feces, we recommend spreading the vulva using two fingers before inserting the sponge.

    2

    Hold the tube upright and unscrew the cap from the tube.

    3

    Turn the cap upside down and place the vaginal swab in the tube. Screw cap on tightly to prevent liquid sample from leaking during transport.

    Customization

    Custom Packaging

    Custom Packaging

    The need to collect DNA samples from remote areas requires mailing logistics that can be complicated and costly. To facilitate this process, DNA Genotek has conducted research to create a mailing solution that complies with International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines, while also protecting the collection kit on the way to and from the donor. The solution adheres to IATA regulations specifically for animal specimens for which there is a minimal likelihood that pathogens are present.

    Since courier services designated as "ground" may involve an air transport segment, the IATA publications are broadly applicable to both air and ground shipments. To ensure full adherence, we recommend that customers check for any variation based on their local postal service.

    Bulk Packaging

    For large quantity purchases bulk packaging is an option. Each overpack box contains 10 kit boxes which contains 78 devices (three rows of 26 devices).
