Thanks to a major renovation, the MSPCA-Angell's pathology laboratory is now a bright, modern space built for speed, accuracy, and safety. Located on the hospital's first floor, the new lab replaces a 50-year-old basement facility and is equipped with cutting-edge tools that help our medical teams make faster, more informed decisions.

The highlight is the new MALDI system, which identifies bacteria through DNA analysis in just 10 minutes (down from 48 hours), so many pets can go home the same day with the right treatment. New blood processing and storage equipment also ensures immediate, emergency blood supplies for MSPCA-Angell patients and police dogs across the state.

Serving MSPCA-Angell's main hospital in Boston, including the MSPCA-Angell West, MSPCA-Angell at Essex, and the Boston Community Clinic, the new lab is ready to meet growing demand, delivering timely results that save lives every day.
