Abstract
A prion disease test kit is provided that allows for quick sample collection by an untrained individual and accurate testing of the sample in a lab, which is remote from the sample collection location. The prion disease test kit allows a lay person to easily collect tissue samples from the field and submit the collected tissue samples for prion disease testing, such as testing for chronic wasting disease, at a different location.
