Hi folks,

This is a topic that has been covered a few times on here. Just a note on my first time experience.

I just had one white-eared masked finch DNA'd. I had it done through Curtin Uni by Assoc. Prof. David Groth.

It was done at cost of $10 with a turnaround time of about a week. Very happy with the service.

Cheers Ian

That is a lot cheaper than what I have been paying.
The best I was doing was $14 each if batched 10 or more at the same time.
For some reason I thought they were up around the $16 mark.
Live and learn.

Iaos,

Feathers or blood?
Either way please tell us how it was done.

Not happy especially when I worked out how much more I spent.
