If the media tubes are damaged or missing something in the packaging can we get a replacement?

Please request fresh tubes on our website (Vet Portal > Request Supplies).  

If you need to send cells immediately, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab:

  1. Place 1ml of saline (.9%, LRS, Norm R) into a no-additive, white-top or red-top tube (plain tube with no additives or serum separator).
  2. Add .1 ml of serum from the patient, or another healthy animal of the same species, to the saline in the white-top or red-top tube.
  3. Aspirate using suction.Gently squirt contents into the tube containing the saline and serum mixture.
  4. Rinse syringe by drawing up saline and serum mixture and gently squirting it back into the tube. Don’t make bubbles.
  5. Repeat aspiration and rinsing multiple times until solution is no longer transparent. A turbid solution usually indicates adequate cellularity for flow cytometry testing.

Is it wise to eliminate a certain chemotherapy drug based on the test results or should there be other factors that need to be considered in this decision?

We do not recommend using ImpriMed's predictions to rule out treatment options. The company's artificial intelligence is optimized to give high positive predictive value to help you find drugs with the highest likelihood of producing positive clinical outcomes. For the bests results, our predictions should be used in conjunction with expert knowledge from a skilled oncologist.

What does the ImpriMed Personalized Prediction Profile include?

The Personalized Prediction Profile includes our Immunoprofile report and anticancer drug response predictions generated by artificial intelligence models. The predictions include estimates of both (1) the likelihood of a positive clinical response (partial response/ complete remission) to individual anticancer drugs and (2) the likelihood complete remission after 1 or 2 cycles of CHOP therapy, and the likelihood of early relapse after a successful CHOP regimen. Outcome predictions are currently provided for 13 individual drugs that are commonly used in many first-line and rescue protocols for the treatment of canine lymphoma (including CHOP, LOPP, MOPP, LPP, Tavonea only, etc…). Predictions are included for Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Prednisone, Rabacfosadine (Tanovea®), L-Asparaginase, Lomustine, Mitoxantrone, Mechlorethamine, Dexamethasone, Chlorambucil, and Melphalan.
