Cytology

Our team of clinical pathology specialists are experienced in the examination of a wide range of cytology specimens across a number of animal species

Cytology submissions are stained using a modified Wright's stain. This gives excellent quality staining for detailed morphological evaluations
Cytocentrifuge preparations of fluid specimen submissions (effusions, CSF, washes, synovial fluid, and urine) allow concentration of cells in poorly cellular fluids, for superior morphological assessment
Additional measurements for fluid specimens such as manual or automated total nucleated cell counts, total protein or microprotein concentrations, cholesterol and triglycerides, or other biochemical analyte concentrations, are also reported as necessary

Our clinical pathologists are always happy to discuss their findings further via telephone consultation
