- Suitable for
- Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs
The Allflex Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU) provides a quick and easy DNA sampling method that is reliable, easy to transport, user-friendly and an efficient way for labs to process DNA samples. It is commonly used to collect tissue samples from the ear of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and a number of other species.
These units take an ear punch which can replace tail hair, blood, semen or other sample types used for DNA, Pestivirus or other serology testing.
