Allflex DNA Tissue Sampling Units (TSU)

These units use an ear punch instead of tail hair, blood, semen, or other samples for DNA, Pestivirus, or other testing.

You can use TSUs on cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, alpacas, camels, fish, and more.

To take a tissue sample using the Allflex Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU), the Allflex TSU Applicator is needed.

For easy and safe storage Allflex Tissue Sampling (TSU) 96 Well Storage Rack is recommended.

Features

Quick, top-performance sample collection - You can grab samples in seconds with hardly any need to hold the animal down. A single squeeze gets the job done with little stress to the animal.

Clean, uncontaminated sampling - The genetic material is sealed up in a special preservative, keeping it safe from any contaminants.

Minimize retesting - Tissue samples pack a heap of high-quality DNA for lab tests, giving you top-notch results.

Sample safety - The TSU is fully sealed and clearly marked with both a 2D barcode and an ID panel. You can pair the TSU with matching NLIS and Management tags, making sure you've got a solid link between the sample and the animal.

TSU samples are accepted by major Australian laboratories including Neogen Genomics (formerly Geneseek Australasia), Zoetis Genetics Australia, NSW DPI Diagnostic & Analytical Services, and Swans Veterinary Services.
