Anatomic Pathology

Clinical Pathology

Clinical pathology services include: hematology (complete blood counts with white blood cell differentials, serum biochemical panels, hormone levels); parasitology; microbiology (bacterial and fungal identification, antimicrobial sensitivity); analysis of urine and other body fluids; serology for numerous bacterial, viral and parasitic infectious agents; and, environmental monitoring. All tests are performed by qualified laboratory professionals trained in veterinary laboratory techniques. The laboratory staff is committed to research in improved diagnostics, reference range development and state-of-the art assays. New tests are continuously being added as experimental needs change. The LCP also utilizes a network of reference laboratories to provide tests that are not performed in-house.
