*Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs must be collected in labelled tubes with viral transport medium, which can be collected from CVRL. ** EDTA blood samples from abroad: please provide air-dried, fresh blood smear slides (minimum of 2 slides per animal, wrapped individually in tissue paper- then protected from moisture in a waterproof plastic bag. Alternatively, slides can be sent in a plastic slide mailer) along with EDTA blood. This is to assure the accuracy of the test results as the quality of EDTA blood may deteriorate during long shipping cycles. |

Highlights:
► Forms are available at CVRL or can be downloaded from CVRL website http://www.cvrl.ae/downloads.php
To avoid clerical errors, CVRL accepts only TYPED requisition forms signed by the submitting clinic/veterinarian with required information of the samples submitted.
► Payment can be made by cash, cheque (made payable to Central Veterinary Research Laboratory), or through electronic bank transfer (bank details are available on the CVRL website: http://www.cvrl.ae/bank.php
► Results will be released by fax, e-mail or by hand ONLY to the requested receiver, mentioned on the requisition form
► Pet importing countries have considerable variations in their legislation with regard to the period of acceptance for import/export test results. Hence, CVRL cannot respond to inquiries regarding the validity of these special test results as well as the choice of the tests required by each country.
Transportation:
Please don't forget to attach our import permit along with the parcel to avoid any hiccups at Dubai airport/customs. This permit can also be downloaded from our website and the link is http://www.cvrl.ae/cvrl-pdf/imp_permit.pdf It is very important that a copy of our import permit is attached both inside and outside the parcel, which will ensure smooth flow at Dubai airport. The samples should reach CVRL in cool condition; but use of dry ice is not recommended as it will change the category of the consignment to a higher level of inspection at customs. Use of ample ice cubes and cool elements will serve the purpose rather than dry ice. Please bear in mind that we do not have any clearing department or personnel for that purpose and therefore it is recommended to send the samples either through FedEx or DHL, who will deliver it to our door. Our physical address for that purpose is:
