Clinical Pathology and Parasitology
The ADRDL Clinical Pathology Laboratory section performs a variety of tests on clinical specimens such as whole blood, serum, urine and fecal samples, and various other bodily fluids. The most frequently requested tests include complete blood counts (CBC), manual examination of blood smears, serum chemistry analyses, evaluation of fecal samples for parasites, chemical and cellular analyses of urine samples, and staining and examination of cytology slides.
Most in-house tests have a one-day turnaround time. Additionally, the laboratory maintains active connections with larger reference laboratories to facilitate specialized testing requests.
The laboratory maintains a Vet Axcel serum chemistry analyzer and offers full serum chemistry profiles and smaller custom profiles for both large and small à£à£Ö±²¥Ðãs on a routine basis. An Advia hematology analyzer is used to provide timely and reliable evaluation of red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet parameters in whole blood samples.
The Clinical Pathology Section of the ADRDL offers a broad spectrum of tests to support practicing veterinarians, diagnosticians and researchers. For inquiries about tests offered or sample submission, please contact the laboratory at 605-688-5171.
