Tips and Advise

In unusual situations, it is possible that your pet can die before genetic preservation or collection of biopsy. However, you can preserve the gene of your pet by collecting necessary tissues as a biopsy sample. However, you must be aware that each day that passes from the death of the animal it minimizes the chances for a successful preservation. The below instructions can help you with genetic preservation:

1. Before the collection of a sample, do not disinfect the sample area to avoid any damage to the skin

2. If you have used iodine to sterilize the area, please use alcohol to cleanse the iodine from the area

3. Place the sample in a sealed container and keep the temperature between 0-4°C

4. Please avoid using saline throughout the entire process

5. Do not freeze the sample as it may decrease the chance of successful preservation

6. Send the biopsy sample within 6 days
