| Description |
Selenium by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Antemortem whole blood (EDTA or heparin) selenium is a good indicator of longer-term selenium intake or supplementation. Adequate whole blood selenium concentrations in most species range from 80 to 350 ppb (parts per billion). The VDL can provide interpretation of whole blood selenium status of most domestic species, but normal values for exotic species may not be available.

| Species |
Ovine | Caprine
|
|
| Shipping Requirements |
To avoid hemolysis, serum should be removed from the clot and aliquoted to another tube prior to shipping. Hemolysis affects serologic testing and may cause a sample to be rejected. Samples should be kept cold during transport. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
|
|
| Additional Instructions |
Note: Samples for serologic testing must be received during business hours the day before scheduled testing to ensure inclusion in the test run. If not, the sample will be tested on the following scheduled test day. STAT testing may be available, contact the lab for more information.

| Description |
Storage Mycotoxin screen by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). This screen is for corn, grain, silage, forage, hay and DDG. Mycotoxins tested Alternariol, Alternariol Monomethyl Ether, Tenuazonic Acid, Cyclopiazonic Acid, Mycophenolic Acid, Penicillic Acid, Rugulosin, Roquefortine C, Penitrem A, Citrinin, Satratoxin G and H, Gliotoxin, Roridin E, Verruculogen, Beauvericin, Enniatins (A, A1, B, B1).
|
|
| Shipping Requirements |
Prefer to ship samples at the beginning of the week to avoid mycotoxin production during shipment. If sample is wet, freeze and ship on ice-pack.
