Ball Python Lavender Albino DNA Test is an in-house DNA test for the detection of the genetic variants that cause the Lavender Albino morph. This test requires minimal training and basic equipment. No need to ship samples to a lab, obtain results in hours!
Sample collection is easy: DNA is extracted from a tiny piece of shed. Result interpretation is clear: two bands indicate a Lavender Albino heterozygote.
This is a gelPCRTM test, based on PCR and DNA gel electrophoresis. For more information on gelPCRTM tests click here.
Ball Python Lavender Albino DNA Test provides enough material for 38 tests (32 samples + 6 controls). The kit includes reagents and PCR tubes. Equipment is sold separately.
