The best source is the newest growing part of the plant. About a 1-inch by 1-inch material of plant is needed. If able send double amount, such that if needed to retest. Material should be mature and not immature growth. Immature parts will give a different peak distance. It is best to have all plants grown under same conditions; such will give the best results. Controls should also be grown under the same conditions. Results will have a greater accuracy if such conditions are met.

Send samples wrapped in a damp paper towel, each in a sandwich bag or equivalent. Separate samples from ice pack such that ice pack is not touching samples directly.

1. Ship to Superior Laboratories 1075 Amity Rd Galloway, Ohio 43119.

Yes, you must include a known control. The species should be a different genome size from the unknown sample, but not to different avoid problems with linearity. The peaks of the unknown sample should not overlap with peaks of standard. C-value given in pg is needed. example 2C= 34.5 pg.
