  TEST NAME Leptospira Species PCR (MDL-1000)
  SECTION Molecular Service
  SPECIMENS

CANINE

(5.0 ml) Urine in sterile container

**Urine is the preferred sample. It is most likely to be positive by the time the pet is symptomatic compared to whole blood.

(2.0 ml) Whole blood (purple top)

**Whole blood is only positive early in the course of disease, often while pet is still asymptomatic.

We recommend performing PCR on both urine and whole blood if there is any doubt about the duration of illness.


If we receive both urine and blood, we will complete a PCR on both ($72.00 total) unless stated on the submission form to complete on either urine or blood, but not both.
