In-House Laboratory – Trusted Partners

Our in-house laboratory generates reliable DNA data using highly qualified specialists and state-of-the-art technology. Our network of trusted partners complements our expertise and enables us to deliver programs and projects across a wide range of fields.

The World's Largest DNA-Verified Breeding Registry

In 2001, the Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV) e.V. became a pioneer by partnering with Generatio to establish a breeding registry based on continuous DNA-verified parentage. Today, the DNA-verified pedigrees extend across up to eight generations and include more than 350,000 German Shepherd Dogs.

Experience and Innovation

Since the early days of the systematic use of DNA information in animal breeding, we have been working with breeding organizations to develop effective programs for the continuous application of DNA data. Through numerous collaborative projects, we have established pioneering processes and innovative solutions.

Genetic Services for Camelids

SNP array–based genetic analysis opens up a wide range of new possibilities. As the first laboratory to offer these services routinely, we provide DNA identity verification, parentage verification, inbreeding assessment, and mating planning for New World camelids (alpacas and llamas) as well as Old World camelids, including dromedaries and Bactrian camels.

Secure Customer Platform "Animal Trust Center"

Developed by Generatio, the Animal Trust Center (ATC) is a unique platform that supports every step of managing and using DNA information online. From ordering genetic tests and accessing comprehensive digital animal records to administering DNA programs for breeding organizations, the ATC provides a secure and integrated solution.

SignCheck – Tamper-Proof Digital Reports

Invisible electronic signatures and encryption ensure the authenticity and integrity of digital documents. For more than 20 years, every report and test result issued by Generatio has been protected with a secure electronic signature in PDF format. With SignCheck, customers can verify the authenticity of any PDF generated by Generatio at any time.
