For histopathologic examination: the adequate size of specimen should be placed into 8-10% buffered formalin solution and in a bottle with wide aperture. This is an absolute necessity for a “lege artis” examination and diagnosis. In every case, a properly filled request form should be attached to the specimen (downloadable at “Services” page) – without the form we cannot provide a report. Receipt of the specimens is at operating hours at the Department (Monday to Thursday 8am to 3 pm; Fridays at 8am to 1pm) or they can be sent by post. We provide a histopathologic report within 2 weeks.

For diagnostic necropsy: proper storage (required: cooled to 0-4°C) and transport of the carcass is an absolute necessity. Please also avoid freezing of the carcass. Due to faster tissue breakdown (autolysis) avoid keeping the carcass in tightly fastened plastic bags for a longer period of time. It worth not to store the necropsy samples for long time. We require a properly filled request form (please find it in the Attachments) in every case. You can also enclose the animal’s medical history record, laboratory results etc. Data of who orders and/or purchaser should be obviously marked.

Receipt of specimens and necropsy of the carcass performed by the veterinarian in duty are on weekdays in operating hours (Monday-Thursday 8am-3pm; Friday 8am-1pm). Necropsy report is sent within 1-2 weeks, and consultation on phone can be requested. Should you have any question or consultation requirey, please call our Reception on +36-1-478-4181 in working hours.
