Launch of new animal multiplex assays at London Vet Show
Rapid, accurate detection of six gastrointestinal disease-causing pathogens in cats and dogs
Novacyt (EURONEXT GROWTH: ALNOV; AIM: NCYT), an international molecular diagnostics company with a broad portfolio of integrated technologies and services, announces that it is launching two new assays for gastrointestinal disease in dogs and cats at the London Vet Show, held from 14-15 November 2024.
The genesig®PLEX kits for Canine and Feline Gastrointestinal (GI) Diseases are multiplexed qPCR assays that detect six disease-causing pathogens in the digestive system of cats and dogs in a two-tube assay, delivering a streamlined and efficient testing solution for centralised veterinary laboratories. Each target has been carefully selected to detect a key pathogen that can cause potentially serious or life-threatening GI illnesses in cats and dogs.
Testing for six pathogens using one sample will reduce hands-on time for laboratory technicians as well as the use of consumables. The kits provide results in less than three hours, enabling quicker, more comprehensive results to the veterinarian and ensuring faster treatment for the family pet.
If you are attending the London Vet Show and would like further information on the new genesig®PLEX kits for Canine and Feline Gastrointestinal (GI) Diseases, or Novacyt’s wider portfolio of veterinary assays, the Novacyt team can be found at Booth No A49.
Lyn Rees, CEO of Novacyt, said: “Following consultation with our customers and further market research, we saw clear demand in the veterinary industry for multiplex assays that target several companion animal pathogens using a single sample. With the launch of our two new genesig®PLEX kits for cats and dogs, we are making testing for these gastrointestinal pathogens more cost-effective, faster and less hands-on for laboratories, and enabling quicker results for veterinarians.
“Adding to the 200+ veterinary assays in Primer Design’s existing portfolio, these tests demonstrate our continued commitment to identifying emerging diagnostic needs and providing best-in-class solutions for our customers.”
