About the Department

The Clinical Pathology & Immunology Laboratory (CP&I) is operational Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, Rotation of every 8th weekend 8am-1pm and one holiday per year 8am-1pm.

This laboratory also provides clinical laboratory testing for research cases in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and functions as a service laboratory to CVM researchers.

Additionally, the CP&I functions as a reference laboratory for selected tests sent in by referring veterinarians. Since the lab began in 1984, our services have expanded to include a large variety of tests with approximately 550 order-able tests and 80 test profiles. The laboratory also serves as a central receiving area for all "send-out" tests, i.e. necessary tests unavailable at the CVM-VHC that must be mailed or delivered to reference labs within or outside the CVM. An average of 5,000 accessions/month are performed in this laboratory.
