- T790
- Results:
- 1-2 days.
- Specimen
- 6 grams of fresh fecal specimen in ANTECHâ„¢ provided fecal container.
- Test Description
- Giardia IFA and Cryptosporidium IFA
This assay uses fluorescence‑labeled monoclonal antibodies to detect Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts in stool samples.
Note: Giardia FA is less sensitive than the Giardia ELISA and O&P tests. Cryptosporidium FA is likely more sensitive than an O&P test. The GI PCR panel would be preferred to either FA test with regards to sensitivity and specificity.

- T150
- Results:
- 24 hours.
- Specimen
- 0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube (spun).

-
Gram Stain
- Test Code
- M090
- Results:
- 1-2 days.
- Container
- Culturette, slide holder.
- Specimen
- Prepared smear (unstained) from fluid (body cavity fluids, TTW or BAL), feces, urine, wound or lesion material.

Heartworm Ag-Heat-Treated Serum
- Test Code
- T613
- Results:
- 2-3 days.
- Specimen
- 1.0 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube.
- Test Description
- Heartworm Antigen using heat-treated serum.
This test is to be done on Heartworm (HW) negative samples that are thought to be false negative because of antigen/antibody complexes. This test is NOT recommended for samples that are already HW antigen-positive or borderline positive.
Interferences: Marked hemolysis and lipemia. Marked hemolysis may cause false positive result. Marked lipemia may cause false negative results.
