Precise sex determination in mammals: your solution on request

We can also use DNA sex determination for mammals such as sloths,
Anteaters, capybaras and many other species. Our precise method
offers you the opportunity to determine the sex of your animals with accuracy.

WHY IS GENDER DETERMINATION IMPORTANT?

Reliable results

Our DNA analysis is based on genetic information and guarantees absolutely reliable gender determination without any uncertainties.

Versatile application

From exotic animals such as sloths, anteaters and capybaras to the native beaver – our
Method can be applied to different mammal species. Please check with us before sending samples from mammals of other species.

Early planning

Knowing the gender allows you to adapt future housing conditions and breeding programs at an early stage.

How does it work?

In our laboratory we analyse DNA using very small samples. Suitable samples are
plucked hairs (approx. 10 hairs with follicles), whole blood (eg EDTA blood) and, in some cases, mucous membrane swabs. By identifying gender-specific markers on the X and Y chromosomes, we deliver clear, reliable results.

DNA sex determination opens up new possibilities in animal care and breeding.
