Protein Electrophoresis Add On

Code
ADD130
Results
2-4 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube
Description
Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, and Gamma 1 fraction assessment with interpretation.

An evaluation of the globulin fraction of the serum (alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, and gamma) to determine if the globulin fraction is monoclonal based on these components.

Interferences: hemolysis may interfere with results. Serum must be less than 48 hours of age to add on this test.

Prothrombin Time

Code
T410
Results
24 hours. Performed each shift
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL citrated plasma in non-additive transport tube.
Description
Prothrombin Time (PT) measures the integrity of the extrinsic and common components of the coagulation cascade.

Interferences: marked hemolysis or lipemia. Partially full blue top tube may falsely increase sample's coagulation time.

Note: clotting of the sample may preclude the analysis. The blue top tube needs to be filled to 2/3 or more of its capacity.

Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease

Code
S16085
Results
7-10 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL EDTA or heparinized whole blood in lavender or green top tube

PT and aPTT

Code
T415
Results
24 hours. Performed each shift
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL citrated plasma in non additive transport tube.
Description
Prothrombin Time and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time. Prothrombin time measures the integrity of the extrinsic and common components of the coagulation cascade. Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) measures the integrity of the intrinsic and common components of the coagulation cascade.

Interferences: marked hemolysis or lipemia. Partially full blue top tube may falsely increase sample's coagulation time.

Note: clotting of the sample may preclude the analysis. The blue top tube needs to be filled to 2/3 or more of its capacity. Partially full blue top tubes may falsely increase the coagulation times.

PT and APTT Add-On

Code
ADD290
Results
24 hours. Performed each shift
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL citrated plasma in non-additive transport tube.
Description
Prothrombin Time and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time. Prothrombin time measures the integrity of the extrinsic and common components of the coagulation cascade. Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) measures the integrity of the intrinsic and common components of the coagulation cascade.

Interferences: marked hemolysis or lipemia. Partially full blue top tube may falsely increase sample's coagulation time.

Note: clotting of the sample may preclude the analysis. The blue top tube needs to be filled to 2/3 or more of its capacity. Partially full blue top tubes may falsely increase the coagulation times.

PTH, Ionized Calcium

Code
S16595
Results
7-10 days.
Country
US
Specimen
2.0 mL serum anaerobically transferred from spun red top or serum separator tube into a plain, unopened red top tube, stored and transported frozen along with patient history
Description
Evaluates the total calcium, ionized calcium, and parathyroid hormone to further define the cause of abnormalities in calcium homeostasis.

Note: serum samples must be anaerobically obtained (exposure to air may artifactually decrease ionized calcium). Samples should not be transported in serum separator tubes. Transfer serum into two plain red top tubes and label as serum ionized calcium and serum PTH. Samples should be frozen and sent on ice.

Rabbit/Small Rodent Ringworm PCR Panel

Code
T984
Results
1-5 days.
Country
US
Specimen
Minimum of 10 plucked hair with roots, skin scraping, ortooth brush sample in sterile, dry container free of liquidsor preservative
Description
Microsporum spp., M. equinum / canis, M. gypseum (Arthroderma gypseum, A. fulvum, A. incurvatum), Trichophyton spp., T. benhamiae / mentagrophytes (Arthroderma benhamiae, A. vanbreuseghemii)
