Current Testing Issues

We are experiencing delays in sequencing

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the molecular sequencing facility we utilize has increased their turnaround time to 1 week. This will, in turn, increase our sequencing turnaround time. Our standard sequencing turnaround time is 1-2 weeks. This may increase to 3 weeks, due to the sequencing facility change. We will return sequencing information as soon as possible.

We are currently unable to run the FIV PCR assay

The manufacturer of the PCR reagents we use for this assay abruptly discontinued this product, with no notice. We are trying to find a replacement option but laboratory reagents are in very low supply right now due to the coronavirus outbreak. Please do not submit samples for FIV PCR. You can contact the University of California, Davis laboratory for testing at 530-752-7991.

We are currently unable to run the ENTV PCR assay

The manufacturer of the PCR reagents we use for this assay abruptly discontinued this product, with no notice. We have not been able to identify substitute reagents. We are no longer offering this PCR assay.
