If the media tubes are damaged or missing something in the packaging can we get a replacement?

Please request fresh tubes on our website (Vet Portal > Request Supplies). If you need to send cells immediately, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab. (Click to read more)

For patients who already have flow cytometry, can you just run the drug sensitivity profile?

No, we cannot run a drug sensitivity-only service. Please understand our AI-based drug response prediction models require flow cytometry and PARR parameters generated from our own instrumental setting. Even if the patient already has flow cytometry results from another laboratory, we need to run flow and PARR again anyway.

How long does the media last before expiring? How long is the medium good for?

The media has a 3 month shelf life. You can check the tube and look for its expiration date as well.

How much blood is required for Personalized Prediction Profile for Canine Lymphoma?

We require at least 2mL of whole blood sample in an EDTA-treated tube.

How does ImpriMed predict drug responses?

Our predictions are made by artificial intelligence (AI) models trained to predict clinical outcomes from patient data inputs. Clinical outcomes collected from oncologists include reports of progressive disease, stable disease, partial response, and complete response. Patient data used as inputs by the AI models include readings from our live-cell drug sensitivity assay, flow cytometry, PARR, and patient information.Models are re-trained periodically to incorporate new data and refine performance.
