| 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.

| 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.
|
|
| Additional Instructions |
Samples >3 days old will be rejected for testing. Sediment examination will only be performed on samples < 48 hours old. Samples 48-72 hours old will only receive refractometer specific gravity and biochemical results and will only be charged a $16 fee for biochemical testing. Visit our Resources page to review the “Urinalysis guidelines” document.
Expert review of the urine sediment by a Zoetis clinical pathologist may be performed on request for an additional fee ($81). Contact the laboratory within 48 hours of receiving the urinalysis report to add an expert review or note on the submission form whether this is desired (may be helpful if carcinoma is suspected).
