Sample preparation covers the tools you use after the blood draw and before the test: a centrifuge or blood spinner to separate serum or plasma, mixers to keep samples uniform, and the pipettes, tips, and tubes that move the sample from tube to test. Most canine progesterone analyzers run on serum or plasma, so how you separate and handle the sample directly affects your result.

Which supplies do you need to prepare a dog blood sample?

A typical in-house workflow needs a micro-centrifuge (often called a blood spinning machine) to spin down the draw, 2 ml centrifuge tubes with snap caps to hold the sample, and a pipette with matched tips to transfer serum onto the test strip or cassette. A tube rack keeps processed samples organized when you're running several females on the same day.

How long does it take to spin a blood sample?

Most benchtop micro-centrifuges separate a canine blood sample in about 5-10 minutes. Add the draw, transfer, and pipetting steps and most breeders go from blood draw to a ready-to-run sample in under 20 minutes. Heavier mixers and centrifuges in this collection are built for repeated daily use in busy kennels and clinics, and most carry a 6-month replacement warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prepare a dog blood sample for progesterone testing?

After the draw, let the blood clot (if using serum) or process promptly (if using plasma), then spin the tube in a centrifuge for about 5-10 minutes to separate the serum or plasma from the cells. Transfer the clear layer to a clean tube with a pipette, then load it onto your analyzer's test strip or cassette. Most canine progesterone analyzers run on serum or plasma, not whole blood. CanineP4 carries centrifuges, capped 2 ml tubes, pipettes, and tips for this workflow.

A tube rack keeps processed samples organized when you are running several females the same day. CanineP4 bundles these supplies in its sample preparation collection.

Do you use serum or plasma for a dog progesterone test?

Most canine progesterone analyzers run on serum or plasma rather than whole blood, so the sample is spun down in a centrifuge before testing. Check your analyzer's instructions for the exact sample type it requires, since some models accept whole blood while others need separated serum. Using the wrong sample type can produce inaccurate results. CanineP4 lists the required sample type on each analyzer's product page.
