Confirm the Lavender Albino gene in your ball pythons before you pair them. This gelPCR™ test detects the recessive allele responsible for the Lavender Albino morph, so you can identify visual animals and hidden heterozygous carriers (het Lavender Albino) directly from a shed — with no need to ship samples to an outside lab.

• Detects the recessive Lavender Albino allele in ball pythons (Python regius)
• DNA is extracted from a tiny piece of shed — no blood draw required
• gelPCR™ method combines PCR with DNA gel electrophoresis; two bands indicate a Lavender Albino heterozygote
• Enough material for 32 samples plus 6 controls (38 reactions)
• Includes master mix, primers, extraction buffer, DNA ladder, controls and PCR tubes; miniPCR® equipment and consumables sold separately
• Store reagents at -20°C; stable for 9 months after arrival
