Animal Infectious Disease Monitoring

Early and reliable detection of common infections in mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs & cats

• Assure the health of your animal colonies
• Monitor undesirable infectious agents
• Detect low levels of pathogen-specific antibodies

Early and reliable detection of infections in the colony is essential to a comprehensive laboratory animal health surveillance program.
A large number of sensitive ELISA kits for monitoring common pathogens in laboratory animals based on FELASA* recommendations is offered.
Multiplexing of up to nine different antigens per well can be provided as custom service.
In addition, IFA slides and PCR controls are also available.

*Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations

Test lab animals for common pathogens that can
- contaminate cell cultures, tissues and tumors
- cause low ascites production
- increase susceptibility to other infection/death
- interfere with other experimental procedures

Ease of Use
• Standard ELISA Format (strip plates)
• Ready-to-use ELISA reagents
• Easy-to-follow directions, no special training needed
• One protocol for all assays
• Compatible with automated plate processors
