Tego Swine
TEGO™ Swine Blood Collection Kit is a breakthrough innovation in collecting, processing, transporting and storing swine blood samples. TEGO provides a safe, easy and cost-effective way to collect blood samples for disease testing, genetic testing, animal identification and parentage. It is an all-inclusive blood collection kit that provides safety self-retracting sharps, a blood card and a specialized envelope – a Total Sampling Solution!
Safe
- Due to TEGO’s self-contained sharps, the risk of needle stick injury is greatly reduced
- Reduces stress and potential injury to swine during sampling through a passive and quick blood collection process
- No need for the animal handler to be on their knees or bending over to collect a sample of blood.
Easy
- TEGO is easy to use; if you can ear tag swine, you can collect blood samples for disease and genetic testing
- Blood saturated TEGO cards can be placed immediately into the specialized envelope to dry on the way to the lab. No need to leave cards sitting out for hours to dry creating opportunity for cross contamination.
Cost Effective
- TEGO cards can be shipped to the lab at room temperature; there is no more need for ice packs and bulky shipping containers.
Laboratory Testing
- TEGO blood cards are verified for PSS, PRRS, SIV and PCV2 testing. Read about the results of the validation in this article presented at the 2010 American Association of Swine Veterinarians meeting.
- TEGO samples can be pooled for some tests, which save YOU money.
