Clinical Pathology Laboratory - Reference Intervals
Chemistry (Mod P) Reference Intervals
 
The following reference intervals have been established for the Mod P in the Clinical Pathology Laboratory at Cornell University. These ranges are valid for adult animals of the 6 species listed for serum samples only. The reference intervals for certain analytes are different in plasma compared to serum. This is species-dependent.
