DNA Hair Card Reminder

When submitting your hair samples to Neogen, the hair cards themselves have all the details Neogen needs to process them. When used correctly, the hair samples are fully secured inside the card with the adhesive provided. Submitting your hair samples in an extra envelope takes extra time in the lab and you may be charged an extra lab fee. If you have any questions, please contact the registry office.
