Laboratory Sample Collection

Getting Accurate Results Starts Here

Collecting high-quality samples is vital for reliable lab results.

Types of Samples

  • Blood (jugular, cephalic, saphenous veins)
  • Urine (free catch, cystocentesis)
  • Feces (direct, rectal)

Best Practices

  • Use the right equipment and tubes.
  • Label everything clearly.
  • Handle samples gently to avoid damage.

Why It Matters

Proper technique ensures the vet gets accurate information for diagnosis and treatment.

Examples

  • Collecting a urine sample using a sterile needle for cystocentesis.

  • Drawing blood from a cat’s cephalic vein for a CBC.
