Cincinnati Children's VEGF-D Quantitation assay is down until further notice effective October 21, 2024. The manufacturer of the ELISA kit has not been able to resolve the issues with the kit and a timeline to address it has not been provided. Cincinnati Children’s has determined that a new VEGF-D assay will need to be validated to resume testing. Therefore, VEGF-D testing is on hold indefinitely. Previously submitted samples will be stored frozen and tested in the order they are received once the assay is back online. VEGF-D in serum is stable for at least one year when frozen. Please do not send further samples at this time and let us know if previously sent samples should be cancelled.
