Standard Fee: 
$20.00
Days Tested: 
M-F
Turn-Around: 
1-2 weeks
Specimen: 
colon, feces, or fecal swabs
Additional Comments: 
This test is intended to screen for strongly beta-hemolytic and weakly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira species. Due to the inherently high level of background flora in fecal samples, the ISUVDL Bacteriology Section does not pool samples for Brachyspira culture. Samples are set up individually, reported individually, and charged individually.

Test: 
PCR - Subtype
Standard Fee: 
$45.00
Best Practice Fee: 
$40.50
Days Tested: 
M-F
Turn-Around: 
next day
Specimen: 
lung, nasal swab, BAL, oral fluids, bronchial swab, allantoic fluid, feces, oropharyngeal swab, pharyngeal swab, tracheal swab, udder wipe
Additional Comments: 
For IAV subtyping added after initial screen when NOT ordered together. Appropriate swabs to use for influenza virus PCR are synthetic (Dacron or Rayon) tipped swabs on plastic shafts. Swabs should be placed in 1 ml of PBS in a falcon snap cap tube and the shaft broken low enough to allow the cap to be securely snapped tightly and avoid leakage. Do not send swabs in agar or gel-type media. Avoid using any calcium-alginate-tipped swabs or bleach. Also avoid cotton swabs with wooden shafts. Ship swabs overnight to the diagnostic laboratory. Acceptable swabs: Star Swab II, Copan swabs, Other swabs are also available.
