Small Animal Screens
*ProBNP Sample should be received at lab within 24 hours of being taken. Please do NOT send the remaining EDTA cells after the plasma has been removed- please just send the separated plasmaGlucose Testing Please note that a spun gel/separated serum sample is the preferred sample for glucose measurement. Spun gel/serum separation should be performed within half an hour of taking the sample. However if using Fluoride Oxalate the tube MUST be filled to the line.Fast Track Charge Most same day tests can be fast tracked at an additional charge with the aim of reporting
results by 1.30pm.
