Collection Information
GENERAL - Label all containers with appropriate information - Animal ID, Owner Name, Veterinarian, Sample Type, Date. *For large animals, a mid-shaft section of the femur can be submitted. Seal ends of mid-shaft section to prevent marrow leakage. Additionally, bone marrow can be removed from large femurs and shipped in a sealed container.
*For small animals, submit both femurs if possible.
*Bone marrow specimens: A marrow weight of greater than 0.3 grams is required for testing.
If there is a concern regarding marrow weight, when possible, it is recommended that the client weigh the marrow prior to shipping. Please ensure that greater than 0.3 grams is retrievable from the sample container.
