Shipping

In general

Vetscope Pathologie aims for a climate-friendly logistics and thus recommends shipping your samples by the Swiss postal service
Prepaid shipping envelopes can be ordered here
Please take care of a safe sample shipping: pack your samples break- and leakage-proof and label your goods correctly as «tiermedizinisch freigestellte Probe» (information in German)
Check again before shipping that all samples are labelled adequately and that the request form contains all necessary information. A good clinical history is a major prerequisite for a pertinent pathological analysis
Please don't hesitate to contact Vetscope Pathology if you might have any question

Cytology

Formalin vapours may harm cytology smears. Therefore send cytology and histopathology samples in different envelopes/parcels. They may be sent within the same envelope if airtight packaging of both is achieved

Necropsies

Particularly with warm temperatures, the carcasses should be cooled on transportation. Vetscope Pathologie recommends the use of styrofoam boxes, also in terms of leakage safety, equipped with cooling elements
