- For Craft Scale growers 1-1,000 plants, We offer a mail in leaf service at $4/leaf. Leafs should be a true leaf of about 1-2 inches and placed in a small 2 x 3 inch plastic bag (amazon sells these at a reasonable price). Leafs should be dry and labeled and sent 2nd day in hot weather or 7 days in the colder months, since leafs are stable for about 3 weeks depending on the temperature. There is an approximate 1-3 day turnaround from date of receipt of leafs.
- For Professional Scale growers, We offer a DNA leaf extraction kit with all the components needed to get you started for $400, which includes: PTC-200 thermocycler, white board leaf collection organizer, repeat pipettor and tip, extraction solution, tweezers, 96 well plate and seal, and plate sealer. So you do the DNA extraction, which takes about 1 hour for 96 plants. The plates are stable for months, so you can send them slow mail at room temperature. This service is $3/plant. There is an approximate 3 day turnaround from date of receipt of 96 well plates.
- For Laboratories or Large Scale growers , We offer the DNA leaf extraction kit with all the components, and the real time PCR reagents. This option requires that you have a real time PCR machine. The cost for this service is $1/test. We offer training to help you run the assay as easily as possible. We will include a price list and suggested manufactures for the consumables you will need in the future as well as complete instructions and discussion topics.
