I am thrilled to announce that The SHUMI SPAID Project at Colorado State University is live!!! π₯³ππβ¨οΈπ
https://labs.vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/webb/the-shumi-spaid-project/
This is the link to the website that explains their process and their pricing. For easy reference the pricing is as follows:
CNV, MTBP and POAG/PLL - $300
CNV and MTBP - $250
CNV and POAG/PLL - $250
CNV - $200
POAG/PLL - $100
Rush testing free - $250
Turn around time is estimated to be 4-6 weeks. This test is done via cheek swab. This is a great option as Cornell University charges $212 for CNV SPAID and that doesn't include the fees for the blood to be drawn and shipped overnight on ice. Also, Embark is the popular option for MTBP and POAG/PLL that typically runs $139. So for all 4 of these tests (CNV, MTBP and POAG/PLL) you would save at least $60 and that doesn't include the vet costs and shipping associated with sending the sample to Cornell!
If anyone has any questions regarding this, please feel free to reach out! I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.
