Northwest ZooPath uses Histology Consultation Service (HCS) to process biopsy submissions for microscopic examination. Northwest ZooPath provides postage-paid mailers for submission of biopsy samples to HCS. Regional veterinarians (Washington and Oregon) may also use the Phoenix Central Laboratory courier service for submission of Northwest ZooPath tissue samples and cytologic preparations, provided Northwest ZooPath forms and specimen containers are utilized.
