Radiographs, clinical pathology, frozen OCT blocks, special stains, and/or IHC are available at additional cost.

  OSU Non-OSU
Mouse/gerbil/hamster $110.00 $120.00
Fish/snake $60.00 $70.00
Frog/rat/guinea pig $190.00 $200.00
Rabbit/cat/small dog $300.00 $325.00

Comprehensive Mouse/Rat Necropsy OSU Non-OSU

Includes complete necropsy services described above with expanded tissue collection and the addition of selected organ weights.

Radiographs, clinical pathology, frozen OCT blocks, special stains, and/or IHC are available at additional cost.

$175.00 $200.00
Mouse Phenotyping Necropsy OSU Non-OSU

Focusing on, but not limited to, spontaneous and chemically or genetically engineered mutant mice, this includes those services offered in the comprehensive level above but with a more extensive necropsy. While radiographs and clinical pathology are not routinely included, these tests are strongly recommended for the standardized and complete phenotypic evaluation of age-, sex-, strain-matched mutant mice.

Frozen OCT blocks, special stains, and/or IHC are available at additional cost.

$275.00 $300.00

Note that specialized requests such as embryo dissection, biopsy, RNA/DNA sampling may incur additional costs.

Proficiency and Feedback Problem Log
Hematology Minimum 30µL whole blood in EDTA (lavendar top) tube
  OSU Non-OSU
Complete blood count (CBC) w/differential $25.00 $30.00
Manual differential $10.00 $12.00
Blood smear $9.00 $11.00

Serum Chemistry: Please note that we are unable to reliably process plasma samples in our current chemistry analyzer. Chemistry samples spun from blood drawn into heparanized (green top) or EDTA-coded (purple/lavendar top) tubes are functionally considered plasma. Chemistry samples should be obtained from whole blood collected in no-additive (plain red or gold/yellow top) tubes for processing through the CPMPSR.
