No, any licensed veterinarian can order all ImpriMed's services.
Blood clots can prevent our ability to run our tests. Very small clots may not be a problem, but in general, clotted blood is not ideal. That is why we ask that doctors send blood in an EDTA or heparin tube.
If you would like to set up accounts for the hospital, please send us a list of doctors' names and email addresses as well as any support staff who would need access to the Vet Portal. Each doctor can also register independently on the Vet Portal. Please note the report will be sent to the ordering veterinarian's email, not to all hospital accounts.
If the patient is suspected of leukemia, blood collected in the EDTA tube should be fine. If it is lymphoma, we might need FNA from the affected organ/lymph node. We can suggest FNA in ImpriMed media tube (1) and 2ml of blood sample in an EDTA tube.
At this time, we only offer commercial services to canine lymphoma patients. However, we are conducting research into feline lymphoma so if you would like to submit a sample please sign up here if you are interested in feline services.
Positive predictive values for our AI-based drug response predictions are 80% or higher.
