A standardized and traceable process from sample collection to report delivery.
Collect 2–3 feathers with intact follicles or a small blood drop on dedicated filter paper.
Minimally invasive sampling protects the pigeon's safety and comfort.
Non-invasive sampling requires no professional blood collection and can be completed by the owner.
A simple process minimizes stress and physical harm.
Secure the collected sample in sterile packaging and ship it according to the instructions provided.
Sterile packaging prevents contamination and degradation while standardized shipping preserves sample integrity.
Compatible with ordinary courier services and requires no special cold chain.
Preserves DNA integrity and establishes a reliable foundation for testing.
A certified laboratory team isolates high-purity DNA from the feather or blood sample.
Certified reagents and validated protocols comply with laboratory biosafety requirements.
Optimized extraction maximizes DNA yield and purity while removing interference.
Provides a high-quality DNA template for accurate and stable downstream testing.
PCR specifically amplifies target genes on the racing pigeon's sex chromosomes.
A standardized PCR system and controlled environment prevent nonspecific amplification and cross-contamination.
Targets the CHD gene on the Z/W chromosomes and creates billions of target DNA copies.
Amplifies trace DNA to a stable detectable level—the key to high-accuracy identification.
Specialists analyze amplified DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis or real-time PCR and interpret the results.
Two technical paths and two-person review reduce misinterpretation.
Males (ZZ) show one specific band; females (ZW) show two bands of different lengths.
Enables high-precision identification with accuracy up to 99.9% per sample.
An officially certified, easy-to-understand report is delivered electronically or in print.
A unique digital certification makes results traceable and verifiable.
A standardized report clearly presents results, methods, accuracy safeguards and sampling notes.
Results are delivered within 2–15 working days after the laboratory receives the sample.
