Test is available as STAT if requested, for an additional fee. Salmonella PCR requires overnight enrichment incubation and results will be available the following day. For remaining PCRs, same day results can be provided for STAT specimens submitted before 10:00 a.m. Results for STAT specimens submitted after 10:00 a.m. receive priority status and are reported as soon as they are available, at least by the following business day. Panel Includes: Equine Coronavirus PCR (ECoV) , Equine Coronavirus PCR (ECoV) , Lawsonia intracellularis PCR, Lawsonia intracellularis PCR, Neorickettsia risticii PCR (Potomac Horse Fever / PHF), Neorickettsia risticii PCR (Potomac Horse Fever / PHF), Salmonella spp. PCR
