Golden Retriever Lifetime Study Laboratory Change to ZNLabs FAQs

Why did you switch labs?

ZNLabs provides us with additional flexibility in sample and data processing to follow through with future research studies using Study specimens and data.

What's different about my kit?

The submission process is the same, but with updated submission forms. Also, your Fisher package no longer includes two 3-mL blood collection tubes.

How will I get my results?

The process for receiving results is the same; results are automatically uploaded into the veterinarian portal for review.

What do I do with my old kit?

You can dispose of any kits received prior to Dec 1, 2020, that contain ANTECH-branded materials.

Please recycle all printed materials and properly dispose of all medical supplies within the kit. Your veterinarian may be able to help with recycling specimen collection supplies.

Alternatively, you can send the kits back to Morris Animal Foundation for recycling:

Morris Animal Foundation
Golden Retriever Lifetime Study
720 S. Colorado Blvd, Suite 174A
Denver, CO 80246

Please write “For Recycling” on the outside of the box.

I used an old kit that I already had on hand. Is that ok?

Study samples shipped to ANTECH will still be tested according to the highest veterinary standards, though there may be minor delays in test reporting.

Can I get a replacement kit to have on hand for a biopsy or necropsy?

Yes! We will be posting a request form soon. You also can request a biopsy kit, a necropsy kit, or both, to have on hand by emailing [email protected] with the following information:

  • Your name
  • Hero’s name
  • Type of kit(s)
  • Confirmation this is an on-hand kit request (kits for heroes with a planned biopsy procedure will have shipping priority)
