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