At Koko Genetics we take scientific rigor and safety in each of our processes very seriously. All saliva samples collected through our DNA test are sent and processed entirely in our laboratories located in Europe.
To guarantee results of maximum reliability, these cutting-edge facilities rigorously comply with the strictest regulations, which make up the highest standard of quality and excellence required in the European Union.
The journey of the sample from when it arrives at the laboratory until you receive your results follows a highly specialized process:
-
Extraction and biological processing: Once we receive your pet's biological sample, our laboratory technicians proceed to carefully extract the DNA.
-
Amplification and genotyping: Next, the purified genetic material is subjected to technical amplification and genotyping processes to be able to read its information with complete clarity.
-
Expert bioinformatics analysis: When the sample has already been genotyped, these raw data are dumped completely securely into the Koko database. In this crucial phase, a multidisciplinary team made up of geneticists, bioinformaticians and other scientific professionals is responsible for analyzing and interpreting in detail all the genetic variants found.
Thanks to this meticulous teamwork between cutting-edge laboratory technology and scientific experts, we are able to translate your pet's biological information into detailed health, trait and breed reports that you can finally consult easily from your private user account.
