When will I recieve the test results?

Page reviewed:  10/10/2025

Test results are given to referring veterinarians. This is done because the clinical picture must always be taken into account when interpreting test results. The analysis cost is charged to the referring veterinarian.

Response routines

Test results are usually provided before 4:10 PM on the same weekday as the sample was received by the laboratory if delivered before 2 PM. For cytological samples, test results are provided within 1-3 days. For histopathology of bone marrow biopsies, test results are provided within 3 weeks.

Analyses that are performed and answered on certain days of the week are:

  • Monday – ANA
  • Tuesday – estrone sulfate, eCG
  • Wednesday (every week)- Electrophoresis
  • Wednesday (odd weeks)- AMH, IGF-I
  • Thursday – Insulin, TgAA

We begin our analyses immediately in the morning. Therefore, it is preferable if the samples arrive to us before the day of analysis. The samples are frozen at our place while awaiting analysis.
