| Sample Submission: | ||||||||
| Whenever possible,
the specimen should be obtained
before antimicrobial agents have been administered. Use
aseptic technique in collecting the specimen. When transport
systems (culturettes) are used, always cap the system and ensure tube
tops are firmly secure. Provide an adequate amount of specimen.
The specimen must be properly labeled with the identification
number or name of the animal, the source, and date. Specimens should be
refrigerated until pick up and transported with a cold pack. Results are
only as good as the specimens submitted. Please make every effort
to submit good quality specimens and properly filled out submission
forms. On the submission form include the source of the culture
and antibiotics the animal is on or may be given. |
