Urolith Composition (FTIR)

Description

Determination of the chemical composition of uroliths by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

Code1071
SectionAnalytical Chemistry
SpeciesBovine, Camelid, Canine, Caprine, Cervid, Equine, Exotic, Feline, Ovine, Porcine
Specimen

Clean, dry uroliths

Sampling Requirements

Do not submit uroliths in formalin or saline. Rinse uroliths with water to remove any blood or debris, then allow them to fully air-dry before placing into a sealed container. Submitting dry uroliths improves testing accuracy and shortens turnaround time.

Collection Container

Sealed, leak-proof plastic bag or container, or glass tube.

Packing Instructions

None.

Special Instructions

The testing schedule reflects days that extractions are initiated. Samples must be received in the testing section by 3:30 pm the day prior to the scheduled test day, otherwise samples will be held until the next scheduled test day. Turnaround time represents the estimated number of business days needed for complete extraction, sample preparation, instrument analysis, quality review, and data interpretation.
 
Turnaround time may vary with unique compositions that require confirmatory testing and with non-validated specimens (e.g., enteroliths).
