Diagnostic Testing

Testing Schedule

Our goal is to provide accurate results and timely service. However, many research and diagnostic assays are not performed daily and/or testing schedules may change. If your case involves testing animals for export, show animals, animals to be sold, and/or a large number of samples, please contact the VDL (515-294-1950) prior to submission to verify the availability and turnaround time.

A $10 submission fee and 1% hazardous fee is assessed on each case.
Fees and test schedules are subject to change without notice.
For additional test information, please click the pathogen name.

* Preferred specimen for testing.
^ Testing performed in part or in total at a Referral Laboratory.
^^ Assay has not been fully validated for all the testing conducted.
