DNA Testing Sample Barcodes
|
|
When placing a DNA testing order, be sure to enter the full barcode into the designated Sample Barcode field, including all letters, with correct capitalization, and numbers. Please be aware each sample card has a unique barcode. When ordering DNA tests please double check that you have entered in the full barcode from each sample for each respective order. Entering only a portion, or the last few digits, of a barcode or entering the same barcode for multiple orders slows down the DNA processing at the lab and thus requires more time for results to be returned.
If you have questions regarding DNA testing, please contact the AGA office at 303-465-2333.
