Hematology and Blood Chemistry Analysis
PHL - Blood Analysis
The PHL Hematology section offers a multi-quantitative, automated, as well as manual, hematology service. Our impedance-based analyzers determine a variety of hematological parameters in whole blood. The laboratory also offers a comprehensive blood chemistry service to investigators.
The Blood Chemistry Analysis section offers a wide variety of clinical chemistry analyte tests on serum, urine, and cerebral spinal fluid. Methodologies include colormetric, potentiometric and rate tests.

These tests are designed to be a useful addition to phenotyping capabilities within the NCI. This service will also be a valuable diagnostic tool when animal health issues arise. Although the service is tailored to mice, samples may be submitted for any species of
laboratory animals.
Interpretation of results and consultation about various phenotyping services is available on request through the Veterinary Pathology Section within PHL.
