Mission in a Minute

We’ve previously highlighted how our technology supports the health of our feline friends, but veterinary medicine extends far beyond household pets. To help veterinarians provide the best care possible, we offer several diagnostic tests and tools to advance research, ranging from equine to endangered species applications.

On farms, disease outbreaks can spread rapidly through herds, causing significant harm to both the animals and the farmers’ livelihoods. Our diagnostic tests for cows, pigs, chickens and other animals can quickly and accurately detect infectious diseases like avian flu, helping to control the spread of infection.

We also support veterinary research and care for more exotic animals. For instance, the San Diego Zoo uses our stem cell reprogramming kits for its “Frozen Zoo®” project, which preserves stem cells from endangered and extinct species like the northern white rhino to help increase their populations. And the Fort Worth Zoo uses our PCR solutions to conduct real-time testing for elephant endotheliotropic herpes virus, a potentially deadly illness that affects all elephants, especially calves if not promptly detected and treated.
