Salmonella Spp. PCR

Code
S14416
Results
4-5 days.
Country
US
Specimen
5 grams of feces in Antech provided fecal container
Description
Detects DNA from pathogenic species of Salmonella. Salmonella PCR testing can also be used as a bio-surveillance tool to identify asymptomatic/shedding horses and monitor in-patients in a hospital setting.

Note: a single negative Salmonella spp. PCR result does not rule out intermittent or lower levels of fecal shedding of Salmonella spp. Three (3) serial submissions are recommended.

Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter

Code
M120
Results
3-4 days. Preliminary report available every 24 hours. Final culture result available in 72 hours.
Country
US
Specimen
Fecal culturette or 5 grams feces in Antech provided fecal container. Submission in in lavender top tube (with EDTA) is not acceptable.
Description
Campylobacter Culture, Fecal Culture (Salmonella and Shigella)

Culture specifically evaluates for Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter. Fecal PCR testing is more sensitive and tests for a broader array of potential pathogens.

Note: submit feces in a sterile container, a culturette, or in a Campy thio broth.

SARS-CoV-2 PCR Add-on Panel

Code
T996
Results
2-11 days.
Country
US
Container
Culturette, fecal sample
Specimen
Conjuctival and deep pharyngeal swabs, nasal swab whencombined with 2nd swab, nasopharyngeal or oropharyngealaspirates or washes, bronchoalveolar lavage, trachealaspirates, or fecal sample.
Description
This test may be added to either a GI PCR or Respiratory PCR panel, where history may suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may be playing an etiological role.

Note: not a standalone test. Must be an add-on to Canine/Feline Respiratory or GI PCR.

SDMA

Code
T1035
Results
24 hours. Performed each shift
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube
Description
SDMA (symmetric dimethylarginine) is freely filtered by the kidneys, and elevation in SDMA is indicative of a reduced glomerular filtration rate.

Country
US
Specimen
Fine-Needle Aspirate (FNA) Samples:

FNA Slides - ≥2 unstained or stained slides + 1 Diffquick
FNA Liquid - ≥0.5 mL in sterile vial/tube with no additives

Biopsy Samples:

Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (“FFPE”) Scrolls – 10 x 10- micron sections with 1 adjacent hematoxylin and eosin (“H&E”) slide

Bone Tumor – Non-decalcified sample
Description
SearchLight DNA is an add-on test to any biopsy or cytology where cancer is suspected or diagnosed. This test provides precision diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic guidance for multiple types of cancers.

This canine cancer genomic panel identifies mutations in 120 relevant cancer genes and provides insights into cancer’s origin, behavior, and the optimal approach for treatment.

Report includes:

- Information about mutations in 120 cancer genes including diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarker associations with supporting evidence from peer-reviewed literature, clinical consensus, and inference from human FDA guidance.

- Pharmacogenomic marker (MDR1) mutation status.

- A list of targeted therapeutic drug(s) if the patient’s tumor mutations are a match for an existing drug.

- Information on clinical trials by tumor type curated from public databases and individual academic centers by Vidium Animal Health.

To order SearchLight DNA, please contact customer service.

Note: SearchLight DNA can only be added to a biopsy or cytology performed at Antech where neoplasia has been diagnosed or suspected.

Senior Care Basic Plus Profile with SDMA

Code
SA712
Results
24 hours.
Country

Container
Serum in red top or serum separator tube, lavender top
Specimen
0.5 mL serum and 1.0 mL of EDTA whole blood
Description
Superchem with SDMA, CBC, Total T4, Urinalysis, and Protein/Creatinine Ratio

The most comprehensive minimum database (superchemistry with SDMA (SA010), complete blood count and urinalysis), a total T4, and urine protein to creatinine ratio (T775).

Interferences: T4 evaluation can be affected in a hemolyzed or moderately lipemic sample. Lipemia can falsely decrease T4 results. Lipemia can falsely elevate TSH results.
