Services
We provide veterinarians and biomedical researchers comprehensive testing and consultation services for the diagnosis and characterization of blood coagulation disorders in animals. Our laboratory has unique expertise in studying mechanisms of hemostasis and thrombosis and in developing assays to evaluate these systems in many different species. To fulfill our mission we offer the following:
- Comprehensive test menu for veterinary clinicians to diagnosis coagulation, platelet, and fibrinolysis defects and tests to monitor anticoagulant therapy.
- Preclinical testing for drug and device development, including customized test panels and report formats, and GLP compliant studies.
- Collaborative and translational studies with biomedical and academic researchers.
- Assistance with study design, test selection, and results interpretation.

Research
The Coagulation Laboratory’s research focuses on the characterization of naturally occurring hemostatic disorders in animals, development of animal models for preclinical testing, and optimization and validation of assays for comparative hemostasis studies.
The Coagulation laboratory actively collaborates with academic and non-academic researchers and test services support contract research and industry scientists. The Laboratory voluntarily participates in the College of American Pathologist’s proficiency testing for coagulation assays and follows the Animal Health Diagnostic Center’s Quality Assurance Program, with accreditation by the AAVLD, and support from the AHDC Quality Assurance Manager to meet documentation needs for GLP compliant studies.
