Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA or Coggins) Submission
The Fort Collins and Rocky Ford laboratories now are approved to receive submissions of Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins) test forms and report the
results back to veterinarians electronically. Follow these four steps to begin submitting samples electronically:
Obtain level one e-authentication by applying for a user ID and a password at: Veterinary Services Process Streamlining (VSPS).
You will need to click on the link to "Continue to this website...". However, you are leaving the CSU Veterinary Diagnostic Lab (VDL) site. CSU VDL assumes no responsibility or liability for the re-directed site.
After you have received approval for your user ID and password, then you may submit test requests though the VSPS site.
Through this Web site, you can set up your name and address, a list of animals with owner addresses, and digital photos of the animals if desired. The electronic eEIA form
is filled out automatically and sent electronically to us by selecting “Veterinary Teaching Hospital - Ft. Collins” toward the bottom of the pull-down list of laboratories.
Serum samples should be sent to us as you usually do with a regular accession form indicating that you are requesting the EIA AGID or ELISA and that you submitted the
electronic form. This information will alert the technicians to look for your form on the Web site. You will receive the results electronically through the VSPS Web site.
If you require a copy of the form with the technician’s signature, please indicate that on the accession form. The technician will print and sign the official form and
the signed form will be faxed to you. Both the e-authentication Web site and the VSPS Web site have “help desk” links, if you have any problems. If you get completely lost,
please call or e-mail Dr. Hana Van Campen at (970) 297-1287 and she will be happy to help you or find someone who can.
