Serology

  • Send ≥1 ml of serum per test or ≥3 ml blood.
  • Send serum only whenever possible. The submission of whole blood, even in separator tubes, often results in hemolysis and interference with some of the tests.
  • Identify the tubes properly, making sure there are matching animal IDs on the submission form and the tubes. Ship sera in racks or cardboard boxes with dividers.
  • Submit acute and convalescent sera together in cases where paired sample serology is needed.

 

*Equine Infectious Anemia:

STAT Service for EIA (ELISA) is available Monday to Friday for an additional $30 per animal tested.

  • Please submit a separate submission form for animal samples that require STAT service. 
  • Samples must be submitted before 2:00P.M. for same day results.

For EIA tests submitted through Global Vet Link, a $0.85 fee will be added per sample.
