GSS Duck and Backpack Travels

Where did you take your GSS backpack or cute duckie? Send us a photo!

February 2025: It has been so chilly here in Moscow that even our little duck is hiding from the cold! (down to -4F/-20C, with wind chills even colder) Despite the cold outside, it's warm in the lab. We have tweaked our procedures and our turnaround is even faster! Now is a great time to send us samples for processing.
