| SKU | Price | Name | Description | Submission |
| P001 | $80.00 | Whole animal (1 slide) | A whole fish submission refers to the submission of an entire, intact, specimen that can be trimmed so that all of its parts can be embedded in a single cassette. Typically, the total length of these specimens is less than 3 cm, and specimens are trimmed along a particular tissue plane, allowing for the tissues to be examined in situ. Examples include whole zebrafish or medaka, cuttlefish or octopus hatchlings or eggs, crustacean or bivalve larvae, elasmobranch eggs or embryos. | Submit fixed sample for processing along with the ZQ Pathology Submission form to: New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory 21 Botanical Lane Address Durham, NH 03824 |
| P002 | $65.00 | Small specimen (1 slide) | A small specimen is a case submission that may generate approximately 4 pieces of tissue that can be embedded in total in a single cassette. In certain cases, these may constitute sub-samplings of postmortem tissue sets focused on particular organ systems or lesions. | Submit fixed sample for processing along with the ZQ Pathology Submission form to: New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory 21 Botanical Lane Address Durham, NH 03824 |
| P003 | $99.00 | Small/medium specimen (2-3 slides) | This is a case submission that may generate up to approximately 12 pieces of tissue or intact whole specimens fixed entire less than 8.5 cm (3.25 in) TL that can be serially cross-sectioned for sampling. Examples include small invertebrates (coral/cnidaria, bivalve mollusks, small crabs, shrimp, juvenile cephalopod mollusks, echinoderms), small or juvenile fish & elasmobranchs, small amphibians, small or juvenile reptiles, neonatal birds, neonatal or small mammals. | Submit fixed sample for processing along with the ZQ Pathology Submission form to: New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory 21 Botanical Lane Address Durham, NH 03824 |
