Diagnostic support for canine Sertoli cell tumour. The ratio is calculated from the two hormones that are already being requested and appears in the report.
Supportive diagnostic tool; it does not replace clinical judgement, cytology or histopathology.
Dermatophytosis – species identification by ITS sequencing (Sanger) (dsng)
Complements PCR on gel: the gel gives the band group (G1–G5) and Sanger sequencing gives the species (separates M. canis, N. gypsea, T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum). It is performed on the PCR product from the same sample.
Supportive diagnostic tool; it does not replace clinical judgement, cytology or histopathology.
Complete microbiome, shotgun metagenomics (fdkg)

Supportive diagnostic tool; it does not replace clinical judgement, cytology or histopathology.
