For Veterinarians

When you test with us, you will have online, personal access to consult with veterinary pharmacologist Michael Court, BVSc, PhD, DACVAA, who discovered the DEPOH genetic mutation.  He can work with you to determine the best course of action for your patients who may need to be treated with antifibrinolytic drugs.

Dr. Court is an anesthesiologist and director of the Pharmacogenomics Research Laboratory at WSU. He is recognized globally as an expert in veterinary pharmacogenomics.

Please collect at least 2 ml of whole blood in a purple top (EDTA) tube.

Complete submission form and payment information using a credit card.

You will receive an order confirmation with a sample identification number. Please print one copy of the confirmation for your records and include one copy in your shipment.

Blood Sample: Label the blood tube with dog’s name and owner’s first and last name.

DNA collection brush: Label the paper backing of the swab sleeve with the dog’s name, owner’s first and last name (or veterinary clinic), and the dog’s breed (use pen or permanent marker).

Note: Make sure the name on the blood tube or swab pouch is the same as the name on the sample submission form. Samples submitted with unclear labeling cannot be tested.

Place the sample tube in a small zip closure bag, wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in a small box with one frozen gel pack. Include your submission form in the package in a separate plastic bag. Please include a complete return address on the outside of the shipping container.

In cooler weather, frozen gel packs are not needed. You can simply place the sample tube in a small zip closure bag, wrap it in bubble wrap, and ship it with the submission form in a padded or bubble wrap mailer.

You will receive an email once we have received your sample.

Place DNA collection brush pouch and the submission form in a shipping envelope (business size #10 or padded envelopes work nicely). Please include a complete return address on the outside of your shipping envelope.

You will receive an email once we have received your sample.
