* = As minimum laboratories work up on the production bleed, MBC will take the plasma, clot, and defibrinate as raw serum. This would also include (if specified) adding 0.1 % sodium azide as a preservative.
** = This cost does not include if additional QC tests are needed. i.e., dose response, additional processing of the raw serum, fractionation, affinity purification, special conjugation, Becker titer, total protein, RID or RRID, IEP, etc. These tests and / or procedures will require an additional cost based on frequency and time to do the tests and / or procedure. Also, this does not include termination of the goat (or goats).
