Sample Requirements & Process
- Aspirate and make slides: 5-10 stained or unstained slides.
- Slides requirement: Slides should have high cellularity and a high percentage of neoplastic cell population, with substantial material, ideally covering >50% of the slide surface rather than a small smear.
- Cytology review: Perform in-house cytology or submit 1–2 slides for review to confirm adequacy.
- Labeling & forms: Label slides with the patient’s name and/or VetOmics ID (e.g., VOC25100011) and include the VetOmics confirmation page when shipping.
- Shipping: Ship slides in a slide box at ambient temperature.
