The Molecular Diagnostic Unit (MDU) offers veterinary surgeons state-of-the-art PCR assays to detect a wide range of bacterial and viral pathogens in cats and dogs.
It also offers a feline genetic testing service to owners and breeders as well as a service detecting clostridium spoilage in meat. All our PCR assays are designed and validated in-house by experienced molecular biologists with input from clinicians, and all assays include internal amplification controls to ensure the highest reliability possible.
The Acarus laboratory, which specialises in detecting arthropod-borne microbial diseases in companion animals, is also part of the MDU.
