What's the breakdown of sensitivity of your PARR for canine B and T cell lymphomas?

PARR Sensitivity for B-Cell is 90.71% and for T-Cell is 85.45%.

What type of sample is needed – just aspirates and a typical flow sample?

We need about 10 million cancer cells to run the full chemosensitivity panel so we ask that you conduct an aggressive woodpecker style FNA, poking as many nodes as possible and putting the cells into our proprietary media tubes (ensures we receive live cells), then of course we need a whole blood sample (2mL).

We have a case coming in today we would really like to submit but don’t have transport media tubes; is there any other method we could do in order to submit a sample, such as aspirating and placing it in tube with serum?

Please use serum and saline that you would normally do when you send to other reference laboratories.

Are shipping costs extra?

Yes, we charge next-day air (overnight shipping). As our state-of-the-art laboratory is in Mountain View, CA, the distance a sample travels to our lab will directly influence the shipping fee applied. Please contact sales@imprimedicine.com for the precise shipping fee for your area.

If I send samples from multiple patients, do I get a discount?

No, but after the first Personalized Prediction Profile service for a given patient, all subsequent Personalized Prediction Profile services for that patient are discounted.
