Animal Health
R-Biopharm Australia’s Animal Health diagnostics portfolio delivers advanced molecular diagnostic solutions for veterinary laboratories, supporting the detection of pathogens affecting companion animals and livestock. Our multiplex PCR panels enable comprehensive identification of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic targets, helping laboratories support disease diagnosis, surveillance programs and animal health management across a wide range of veterinary applications.
Comprehensive Veterinary Pathogen Detection
Veterinary diseases often present with similar clinical signs despite being caused by a wide variety of pathogens. Multiplex PCR technology enables veterinary laboratories to detect multiple clinically relevant targets from a single sample, providing a more comprehensive understanding of infectious disease profiles while reducing the need for multiple individual tests. This approach supports informed diagnostic decisions for both companion animals and livestock, helping improve disease management and biosecurity outcomes.
