Would we need to set up a Vet Portal for each doctor or just our hospital?

If you would like to set up accounts for the hospital, please send us a list of doctors' names and email addresses as well as any support staff who would need access to the Vet Portal. Each doctor can also register independently on the Vet Portal. Please note the report will be sent to the ordering veterinarian's email, not to all hospital accounts.

Other Questions

Back to Help Center

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.

Does the veterinarian have to be the one to order the ImpriMed services?

No, any staff member affiliated with a veterinarian can submit or order via our portal so long as the leading veterinarian has an account setup.

How long can the media tubes be outside of that temperature before going bad?

We will send you another batch of media tubes you could use. Please make the supply request on the Vet Portal > Request Supplies page.

How do I prepare serum and saline tube?

If you do not have our proprietary media tubes handy at the moment, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab

What does flow cytometry tell me about my patient’s specimen?

ImpriMed’s flow cytometry report provides comprehensive information about the specimen’s immunophenotype. B-cell and T-cell immunophenotypes are useful in determining lymphoma/leukemia subtype and prognosis. In addition, our panel of ten antigens can also be used in the diagnosis of T-zonal lymphoma, acute leukemia, and other diseases. Antigens levels reported are: CD21, CD79a, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD45, CD34, CD14, and MHC class II. For more information, see: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26953614/
