Acceptable Samples |
Placenta, amniotic fluid, stomach contents, culture isolate, vulvovaginal or penile prepuce swab in transport media
|
|
Schedule |
Turnaround Time 1-3 business days from test day

|
Description |
This assay targets the DNA of a portion of the Ureaplasma diversum bacterial genome.
|
|
Species |
Bovine
|
|
Shipping Requirements |
To ensure inclusion in the test run, samples should arrive the day prior to test day.
|
|
Additional Instructions |
Ureaplasma bacteria can be part of the normal vaginal flora; therefore, fetal tissues are preferred. Ideally, swabs should be sent in universal transport medium but swabs sent in PBS are also acceptable.

Description |
Urinalysis includes a chemistry multistick test, specific gravity via refractometer, and microscopic examination of urine sediment for samples less than 24 hours old. Positive protein and bile multistick results are confirmed by additional methods.

Shipping Requirements |
Urine should be cooled immediately after collection in the refrigerator and shipped on ice. Degenerative changes will occur if sample submission is delayed; therefore, sediment examination will only be performed on samples < 24 hours old.
|
|
Additional Instructions |
*Samples >3 days old will be rejected for testing. Sediment examination will only be performed on samples < 24 hours old. Samples 24-72 hours old will only receive refractometer specific gravity and biochemical results. Visit our Resources page to review the “Urinalysis guidelines” document.
Please note on the submission form whether carcinoma is suspected. Cytology is an important diagnostic tool in these instances.
