Other Questions

Back to Help Center

I have a patient with likely lymphoma/leukemia. For a blood sample, can I just submit an EDTA blood tube or do I still use the ImpriMed tubes (and if so, how many tubes and is an additional EDTA blood tube still needed with that)?

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.

Can the blood sample be frozen or refrigerated before shipping?

The blood sample can be refrigerated before shipping. Please DO NOT freeze the blood sample.

Which cancers can I use ImpriMed for? or What type of cancer does ImpriMed predict?

Currently, our services are for canine lymphoma and leukemia. We will be expanding our services to other species and other blood / lymphoid cancers in the near future.

How do I prepare serum and saline tube?

If you do not have our proprietary media tubes handy at the moment, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab
