6.6 Results and reports from PADLS laboratories
From our clients' point of view, the results are the reason to submit samples for testing. PADLS recognizes the importance of results, and every effort is made to provide accurate, timely and interpretable data. If you have questions about a test result, please call. The following general guidelines may be useful.
- All samples are assigned an accession number upon arrival at a PADLS laboratory.
- All samples/cases are assigned to a case coordinator who assumes final responsibility for the sample and for reporting the results to the submitting veterinarian.
- Regardless of type of test or result, results are routinely faxed or mailed to the veterinarian
and owner submitting the case/sample.
- Diagnostic results (biopsy, necropsy) can be provided by phone on request.
- Regulatory test results can only be released by mail and/or by FAX transmission.
- Antibiotic sensitivity results will be reported only to the submitting veterinarian.
- If you call for test results, please have the accession number (if known), the owner's name, the veterinarian's name, the date the specimen was sent, and the test(s) requested. This data will help us find your results quickly.
