TSU Applicator and 10 x sample collectors - donated by Allflex Australia (#13)

TSU Starter Kit: Allflex TSU Applicator + Box of 10 TSU Units

Take your DNA sampling to the next level with the Allflex TSU Applicator. The Allflex TSU Applicator  is used to take a tissues sample from cattle, sheep and pigs using our Tissue Sampling Unit system.

The Allflex Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU) unit provides a quick and easy DNA sampling method that is reliable, easy to transport, user-friendly and most efficient way labs can process DNA samples in a lab.

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. TSU’s can be used on all livestock types.
