Is this test available outside the US? Could I order the test?

Because we require live, fresh, cancer cells within 24-48 hours of doing a fine needle aspiration, we are ONLY offering our services in North America at this time. If you already had an experience of sending biopsy samples to the US in 24-48 hours, we could discuss the work further. Please contact info@imprimedicine.com.

Which cancers can I use ImpriMed for? or What type of cancer does ImpriMed predict?

Currently, our services are for canine lymphoma and leukemia. We will be expanding our services to other species and other blood / lymphoid cancers in the near future.

How long does the media last before expiring? How long is the medium good for?

The media has a 3 month shelf life. You can check the tube and look for its expiration date as well.

Do you need me to provide you with passwords for the hospital accounts?

No, we don’t need the password to associate the doctors and hospital. Once we register it, the password will be sent to the corresponding emails.

What is a drug sensitivity test?

A drug sensitivity test is a lab test that measures how easily cells are killed by a drug.When you order a Personalized Prediction Profile, ImpriMed uses a proprietary high-throughput ex vivo drug sensitivity testing platform to analyze your patient’s live cells.
