Shipping for Urine Tests

Samples for Metabolic Screening, Fanconi Syndrome Screening, Cystinuria Screening, Methylmalonic Aciduria and Mucopolysaccharidosis (any type) testing should be shipped to:

Dr. Giger - PennGen (Insert breed name – Name of test; e.g., Labrador – Metabolic Screening)
School of Veterinary Medicine
University of Pennsylvania
3900 Delancey Street, Room 4027
Philadelphia, PA 19104

  • The urine sample for these tests MUST be shipped overnight, ON ICE. Sending samples through the regular mail or without ice packs will cause the sample to degrade and may cause null conclusions to be drawn from the screen.
  • Urine samples MUST be shipped between Monday and Wednesday only. If you have a fresh sample and cannot ship it on these days, immediately freeze it (-20 degrees) after collection, and wait until the next Monday. Also, please do NOT submit samples that will arrive on weekends, holidays or between Christmas and New Years Day.
