Pricing will be subject to an annual review on 1st January each year, AVS reserve the right to amend prices at anytime.

• There is no extra charge for common special stains or telephoned, faxed or e-mailed reports.

• Duplicate slides are supplied free of charge if requested.

• Digital photographs - please contact the lab for details.

All samples must include a submission form with relevant details including a synopsis of the clinical history (computer printouts are usually of verylimited value). Where appropriate, a list of your clinical differential diagnoses for that case should be included. Please mark the animal outline with the site from which the tissue was removed. These details must be included, even if the case has been discussed on the telephone, as we discuss many cases each day and the information may be used (with consent) in the future for research purposes.

Please ensure that cytology slides, whether or not submitted together with formalin-fixed specimens, are packed in an airtight fashion to prevent exposure to formalin fumes since this significantly reduces the diagnostic utility of cytological preparations.

It is a legal requirement that all specimens are securely packaged, for further information please go to the Royal Mail website for the IATA statutory regulations (IATA 650). To view the IATA statutory regulations you will need to go to the Government’s website. All diagnostic specimens should comply with UN3373 packaging instruction P650.

Submitting and packaging samples

Please contact customer service for postal boxes and pots.
