Citrated whole blood, or decanted and frozen citrated plasma |
Daily |
Citrated whole blood will be accepted provided the sample can be delivered to the laboratory within 60 minutes of collection. Contact the laboratory prior to sample collection to make arrangements for drop off. If shipping, plasma must be separated and frozen. Citrated whole blood should be centrifuged, the plasma decanted into a plain tube without gels, additives or activators, and then frozen. Ship frozen overnight for morning delivery with ice packs or dry ice. Plasma must remain as cold as possible during transport or results will be affected. Please note all citrate tube draws must be filled properly, according to manufacturer’s specifications to maintain an adequate blood to anticoagulant ratio. |

The APMV-1 assay is validated for all gallinaceous poultry and domestic ducks. The use has been expanded to appropriate samples across all avian species.
Newcastle disease is an important rule-out for poultry that have unexplained increases in mortality, respiratory disease and/or drops in egg production.
In the U.S. all specimens testing non-negative for APMV-1 must be forwarded to NVSL for confirmation testing.
USDA certification to perform this test is maintained by NAHLN- NVSL proficiency tests performed annually.
Certification maintained since 2003 |
