Submit at least 2 mls of serum via an overnight mail carrier. Include
an ice pack if weather is hot, but it's not critical if the samples
are sent sent for next day delivery. If you don't have a way of
separating the serum from the clotted blood, send the whole blood
sample and they'll centrifuge the tube to get the serum. They test
for a protein produced by the fetus that can be detected in goats by
day 25 or greater of gestation. The charge is $15 per sample for the
first five. Then, for samples 6+ charge is $10 per sample. Turn
around time approx 1 week.
