Hot tips on pathology submissions

Diagnostic pathology provides veterinarians with vital information for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases in animals. There are many things vets can do to help get the maximum benefit from their pathology testing. Ensuring samples are correctly collected, stored and prepared is just as important as test accuracy and helps the laboratory to provide you with accurate and reliable results. This webinar will provide tips and tricks on how to submit samples, what information to provide in the clinical history and how pathologists can assist vets in diagnosing disease. Topics of discussion will include test selection, blood tube and sample container options, sample storage, tissue preparation for cytology, histology and culture, and what to write on the submission form.
