The NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Lab offer supplies required for proper collection of certain specimens. We provide necessary supplies to simplify collection and submission to the laboratory.
Aerobic Culture Kit $2
Each kit contains an instructions for use guide, an Eswab collection device, biohazard bag, absorbent material, and a parafilm tube seal.
Trace Mineral Serum Collection Kit $2
Each kit contains a royal blue (trace mineral) blood collection tube, a biohazard bag, absorbent material, and a parafilm tube seal.
Use of trace mineral tube: Used for submission of serum samples for trace mineral and heavy metal testing. Minimizes contamination of potassium and other minerals present in other collection devices.
Urine Culture Kit $2
Each kit contains a grey top (boric acid) urine tube, biohazard bag, absorbent material, and a parafilm tube seal.
Use of grey top tubes: Grey top urine tubes preserve urine for culture; samples are stable at room temperature for up to 72 hours after collection. Great option if submission of samples to the laboratory will be delayed beyond same day delivery. If urinalysis is also desired, submit a second sample in a sterile collection container without preservatives.
Abortion Collection Kits $4
Each kit contains three 4 oz. Whil-Pak bags, a 15 mL tube, a sterile synthetic collection swab, paraffin tube seals, absorbent materials, specimen labels, biohazard bags, abortion collection kit instructions, and an abortion diagnostic workup checklist.
Biopsy Mailers $125
Each biopsy mailer kit contains nine pre-filled formalin jars, shipping materials, and pre-paid shipping labels.
