Blood and tissue toxicology for animals — heavy metals, pesticides and contaminants — with practical turnaround and a chemist on the phone when results need context.
Heavy-metal and pesticide screening when toxicity is on the differential.
Contaminant and trace-element analysis to support a diagnosis.
Testing across multiple animals or feed/water sources to find a common cause.
Veterinarians, diagnostic labs and animal-health researchers use IAS for the trace-element and contaminant chemistry that confirms — or rules out — a toxicological cause.
We quantify heavy metals and screen for pesticides and contaminants in blood and tissue, and we talk results through with the clinician or researcher who has to act on them.
Single urgent cases and ongoing research programs are equally welcome, with no account required to send the first sample.
We serve avian and exotic animal patients. One of the unique challenges in testing birds and other exotic animals is that only very small volumes of blood can be drawn. IAS has developed and validated methods that allow us to perform heavy metals analysis on extremely small blood sample volumes. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Heavy metals and toxic elements at diagnostic sensitivity.
Liver, kidney and other tissue for elemental and contaminant analysis.
Source testing when several animals are affected.
Yes. ICP-MS quantifies lead, arsenic, mercury and a full heavy-metal panel in animal blood, serum and tissue at diagnostic sensitivity.
We do — GC-MS screening for pesticides and other contaminants supports suspected-toxicity cases.
Yes. We can test across multiple animals and the shared feed or water sources to help identify a common cause.
Rush turnaround is available at additional cost — tell us the urgency when you call and we will prioritize accordingly.
Exotic species, an uncommon matrix, or an analyte that is not on a standard panel? Veterinary work is rarely cookie-cutter, and neither are we — call and we will build the right approach.
