Collection Instructions

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.
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.
Hold the tube upright and unscrew the cap from the tube.
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.
Invert and shake the tube vigorously 10 times to thoroughly mix sample.
Optional: using a permanent marker, clearly write the animal identification number on the white space available on the tube label.
Additional notes
