The Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory in Amarillo now offers T4 testing by homogenous thyroxine immunoassay. Previously, when Amarillo clients submitted a sample for T4 testing, it was forwarded to College Station.

Now, clients submitting to the Amarillo lab will see faster turnaround time with T4 testing being offered at both full service locations. However, if additional thyroid function testing is needed the sample will be sent to the College Station laboratory.

The T4 test will be run each weekday. Results are available the same day as delivery, if the sample is received before 11 a.m. The test cost is $9 for in-state and $10.80 for out-of-state testing.

The T4 test can be conveniently added to routine chemistry panel tests, such as the small animal chemistry panel, with no delay in turnaround time.

For questions regarding this test, contact the Amarillo laboratory at (806) 353-7478, or College Station at (979) 845-3414. PD
