Cytologies will not be evaluated at the NDSU VDL from August 15-23. We recommend submitting to a commercial laboratory during this time. Alternatively, NDSU VDL can forward cytology slides on to another AAVLD accredited laboratory for the cost of the test and shipping.

Samples that are properly collected and are stored and shipped at the appropriate temperature will yield the best results. Use our helpful resources for guidance on collection, storage, and submission of your samples.
