What is the smallest sample I can send?

We test small animals that weigh just a few grams so the smallest of samples can be tested for all parasites.


In small reptile samples we may not be able to report numbers in the case of pinworms egg levels. To perform this we would need a minimum of 0.5g for the counting technique. These would still be reported by as subjective low-moderate-high.
