Getting started with BattLab couldn’t be easier.

Whether you’re sending samples every day or only occasionally, there are no contracts, no minimum spend, and no lengthy registration process. Simply choose the most convenient way to send your sample, complete a submission form, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Every report is reviewed by one of our experienced pathologists and includes clinically relevant interpretation to support your diagnostic decisions.

How to send samples

Below you can download the submission form that should accompany all samples and where you can include all the details about the animal and tests requested. If you do not see the test you want on our submission form, do not worry, it is very likely we can still offer it. Check our price list or feel free to give us a call.

We’re excited to let you know that you can now easily book a sample collection online. To get started, click on the button below and fill out the required information. We’ll take care of the rest and ensure that your samples are picked up as soon as possible.

Alternatively, you can download our postage label for free below. This will save you the time to write the address on the parcel and the money to ship the sample.

We’ve also launched our FREE Overnight Lockbox Service! Enjoy secure after-hours sample collection, later collection times (location dependent) and next-morning delivery to BattLab. To find out more or arrange your free lockbox, please contact our office team.
