CPSR hematology options are available for samples processed with EDTA or lithium heparin anticoagulant.
≥ 50uL of whole, unclotted blood in either EDTA (preferred), or lithium heparin anticoagulant, each. Refrigerated samples are acceptable up to 7 days after collection.
Samples must be submitted in tubes with screw top closures. Eppendorf style tubes will not be accepted. Contact the lab for ordering information.
≥ 14 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma, each.
≥90 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma
≥90 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma
≥90 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma
≥ 180 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma.
≥ 45uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma.
Note: average serum/plasma ratio to whole blood, is approximately 1:1 in healthy animals.
Samples must be submitted in tubes with screw top closures. Eppendorf style tubes will not be accepted. Contact the lab for ordering information.
Cell cytology analysis available for exudate, smear impressions, red, white and platelet cell visual inspection and cavity fluid examination.
Add cytospin technology to increase cell yield from hypocellular samples like lavage fluid or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
≥ .5 mL fresh urine submitted within 2 hours of collection. Do not refrigerate.
Sedimentation examination analysis:
Adequate and proper sample collection is critical for successful laboratory analysis. Please contact the lab for project planning assistance.
Note: collection tubes should be no larger than 1.3 mL, and submitted with a screw top closure. Eppendorf style tubes will not be accepted. Contact the lab for ordering information.
Hematological analysis:
Complete blood count (CBC)
Manual differential count
Red cell agglutination
Packed cell volume (PCV)
Blood Chemistry Analysis:
12-chem: ALP, ALT, BUN, CREA, GLU, TP, TBIL, ALB, PHOS, Ca CHOL, GGT
≥ 180 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma.
6-chem: ALP, ALT, BUN, CREA GLU, TP
Kidney function panel: ALB, BUN, CREA, Ca, PHOS, TP
Liver function panel: ALB, ALP, ALT, GGT, GLU, TBIL
≥90 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma
Single parameters: BUN, CREA, ALP, ALT, PHOS, GGT, TBIL, AST, GLU, TP, ALB, Ca, Mg, NH3, TRIG, LIP, AMY, CK, URIC, CHOL, TCO2, LDH
≥ 14 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma, each.
Electrolytes: Na, K, Cl
≥ 45 uL of serum (no additive) or lithium heparin plasma.
Note: average serum/plasma ratio to whole blood, is approximately 1:1 in healthy animals. Ie: one mL of whole blood will yield .5 mL serum or plasma.
Serum and plasma must be separated into Eppendorf™ (or any
non-additive) tubes via centrifugation, within 20 minutes of collection.
Refrigerated samples are acceptable up to 7 days after collection. Samples may
also be frozen at -70° for long term storage purposes.
Urinalysis:
· Complete: Specific gravity,
glucose, bilirubin, ketone, blood (hemolyzed), pH, protein, urobilinogen,
nitrite, leukocyte, sedimentation exam
≥ .5 mL fresh urine submitted
within 2 hours of collection. Do not refrigerate.
