PCR analysis for cats (dogs, poultry, horses, cattle, etc.): application and operation
Scanelis is the leader in cat analysis. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis plays a key role in veterinary diagnosis, obviously also for cats. Scanelis, a reference laboratory in this field, offers real-time PCR analyzes for cats (dogs, poultry, horses, cattle, etc.) adapted to the specific needs of veterinary clinics. These tests are developed to ensure high sensitivity, reproducibility of results, and precise quantitative analysis. Here is an overview of the services and procedures associated with PCR analyzes at Scanelis.
Why choose a PCR analysis for cats (or other animals)?
Cat PCR (dog, poultry, horse, cattle, etc.) is particularly useful for detecting viral, bacterial or parasitic infections. For example, in cats, it can identify:
- Respiratory infections such as feline herpesvirus (FHV).
- Pathologies such as toxoplasmosis, panleucopénie or mycoplasma infections.
- Pathogens present asymptomatically, thus helping in early detection.
La PCR quantitative, a technology used by Scanelis, is preferred for its ability to measure viral or bacterial load, essential data for assessing the severity of an infection.
Request for analysis: how to proceed?
