Instructions
Please note: The laboratory is closed on weekends and holidays. When shipping, please ship overnight and ensure a weekday delivery.
Approximately 0.5 mL duodenal fluid is necessary to perform the total enzyme analysis. The fluid must have a pH of 6.5 or above at the time of collection. A lower pH suggests gastric contamination, which will irreversibly destroy the enzyme activities.
Freeze immediately and keep the fluids frozen until shipping.
