Description
Price is per animal, AND per tissue.
The first biopsy sample from an individual animal is $80. Each additional biopsy sample from the same animal is $40.
For example, a skin mass from the head, with an additional skin mass from the leg and a subcutaneous mass from the abdomen from the same animal would be counted as three masses or $160.
Multiple punch biopsies from the same animal and submitted in the same jar will be counted as a single biopsy (i.e. $80).
Multiple endoscopic GI biopsies from the same animal and submitted in separate cassettes with sponges and labeled by segment will be counted as a single biopsy (i.e. $80).
In addition, biopsy samples which require increased amounts of technician/pathologist attention and/or specialized reagents will be assessed a $50 sample processing fee. Examples of biopsy samples which will receive this fee include large biopsy samples (>15 cm in diameter), samples submitted fresh, whole spleens, whole mammary chains, samples that require decalcification (amputated digits, jaw/mandibles, as well as certain mammary/oral masses) or any non-standard biopsy sample.

Special Instructions
Shipping formalin-fixed samples during subzero temperatures causes samples to freeze and typically renders the sample nondiagnostic. Addition of 1 part alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol) to 9 parts formalin can help reduce freeze-thaw artifact if shipping samples during cold temperatures.
