In rare cases, not all test results can be obtained. Such results are marked as “not evaluable”. f a test that is particularly important to you and your cat breed could not be obtained within the LABOGenetics XXL package, you can reorder it at a particularly reduced price as a single analysis for € 20. If more than three test results are not generated, your order will be cancelled and will remain free of charge for you. You can then send in a new sample, which we will analyze again. If you have any questions or would like to reorder, please contact labogen@laboklin.com
We strongly recommend submitting an EDTA blood sample as blood contains up to 100 times the amount of DNA compared to a buccal swab. Alternatively, you can request specially optimized swabs when you place your order. If a cheek swab is taken correctly, the desired results can also be obtained. Please only use the specially optimized swabs and not the swabs from our standard test kit.
