Microperforated Bags for DNA Sample Collection
Specialised packaging for collecting, storing and transporting dry biological samples for DNA analysis.
DESK’s microperforated sample bags provide a practical packaging solution for veterinary laboratories, animal genetics specialists, breeding organisations and research institutions. Transparent film and an inner pouch allow individual samples to be packaged separately while keeping the contents visible.
The distinctive feature is the fine microperforation in the film. Small, spaced perforation points allow air exchange and, when used correctly, can help limit moisture buildup and condensation inside the packaging.
Depending on the product specifications and the receiving laboratory’s requirements, potential applications include:
Animal hair samples: including hairs with roots for genetic identification, parentage testing and breeding programmes.
Feather samples: for avian DNA testing, where this packaging is accepted by the laboratory.
Fully dried cheek swabs: for samples collected from the inside of an animal’s cheek, where the laboratory approves this packaging format.
Dried blood spots on collection cards: where both the card supplier and the receiving laboratory confirm compatibility.
The transparent film allows visual inspection without opening the bag. An inner pouch provides a separate compartment for the sample. The two connected bags can be separated along a straight tear-off perforation.
