From the early work of Dr. Charles Allen Cary more than a century ago, to the development of some of the world's most advanced veterinary programs, Auburn has influenced the character and scope of veterinary medicine.
The country's seventh oldest veterinary school and the oldest in the South, Auburn today boasts one of the nation's preeminent institutions for research, teaching, diagnosis, and treatment in many specialties of small and large animal medicine.

All activities associated with students in the professional veterinary degree program are coordinated through the College of Veterinary Medicine Office of Academic Affairs. These activities include, but are not limited to:
Sample SubmissionSubmission FormTo submit a sample for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, please complete our sample submission form and print a copy to accompany your sample. If the link will not work, please contact us and we can fax or email you one. All samples submitted to the Clinical Pharmacology Lab require a completed submission form shipped along with the sample. Sample Submission Form (PDF) Typeable Submission Form (PDF w/form fields)
ShippingShip samples to: Clinical Pharmacology Lab The CPL now has contracts with UPS and FedEx offering approximately 50% off overnight service. Due to slightly better pricing and no pickup charges when billed to our account, Fedex Standard Overnight is our preferred method of shipping, but if it is more convenient, you are welcome to use UPS Next Day Air Saver. The easiest way to ship using our account is for us to order you billable stamps. Please contact us (with Clinic Name, Address, Phone Number, and name of person we can send them to) and we will order them for you. The billable stamps are free to order and the minimum number is 10. They usually take 5-7 business days to arrive, so order before you are ready to send the sample. If you use our account to ship, we will add the charges to your invoice.
Pricing and Sample Collection ProtocolsUpdated February 2013 Please note: When serum is requested (see specific test requirements below), please draw in red top tube (no serum separator tubes due to binding of drug), allow time to clot, spin down, draw off and send just the serum. This provides the cleanest sample and therefore, the most accurate results. Amikacin - $100 Single Sample; $125 Peak & Trough Minimum Sample Required: 0.5ml Serum or Plasma (no serum separator tubes), ship in plastic tube because aminoglycosides bind to glass. Fasting recommended but not required. No ice needed. Peak sample: 1.5-2hrs post dose. Trough sample: Just prior to next dose (12hrs post on 12hr dosing) if goal is to assure concentrations are below that of safety. If your goal is also to calculate a disappearance half-life then collect 4-6hrs after peak sample. Run as received (2-3 day turnaround time). Method: Immunoassay Benzodiazepines (Diazepam, Chlorazepate, etc.) - $50 Single Sample *Qualitative Assay (Positive/Negative). Minimum Sample Required: 0.5ml Serum or Plasma (no serum separator tubes). Protect from light with aluminum foil. Fasting recommended but not required. No ice needed. Peak sample (recommended): 1hr post dose. Run as received (2-3 day turnaround time). Method: Immunoassay. Bromide (Potassium or Sodium) - $38 Single Sample Minimum Sample Required: 0.5ml Serum or Plasma (no serum separator tubes). Fasting recommended but not required. No ice needed.

Peak sample: 1.5-2hrs post dose. Trough sample: Just prior to next dose (12hrs post on 12hr dosing). If greater than 12 hour dosing interval, a 12hr trough may still be needed or concentrations may be non-detectable. Recommend peak and trough first time to establish half-life. Run Wednesday and Friday mornings. Sample must be received by day before to be included in run. Method: Immunoassay Digoxin - $45 Single Sample; $70 Peak & Trough Minimum Sample Required: 0.5ml Serum or Plasma (no serum separator tubes).
