ZeeWeeTM II Bird DNA Sex Test is an in-house test for the determination of sex in parrots (Psittaciformes). Sample collection is easy, DNA is extracted from blood previously blotted (e.g., ex-ovo blood draw) on filter paper, buccal swabs, or from feathers. Result interpretation is clear: two bands indicate a female, one band a male.
This is a gelPCRTM test, based on PCR and DNA gel electrophoresis. Check more information on gelPCRTM tests here!
