If the recent pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of diseases for animals and humans to protect public health. Zoonotic Diseases are diseases transmitted from animals to humans and with over 200 known types of zoonoses, they are responsible for a large percentage of all newly identified infectious diseases as well as many existing ones (Ebola, HIV, COVID-19).
Animal Diagnostic Testing has become pivotal in helping animal owners and veterinarians quickly identify and treat illnesses and health issues that arise from various germs, bacteria, and viruses. Early detection of animal diseases is crucial, not only for protecting public health but also maintaining the well-being of our pets.
Launching this week, Touch Biotechnology has created their new FastVET-Animal Diagnostic Tests for dogs, cats and cattle that will detect and combat multiple pathogens (viruses and other diseases) from a single sample.
The animal diagnostic testing range puts the animal’s well-being at the forefront of care by making the testing process as streamlined and accurate as possible.
One of the key benefits of the range is its ability to quickly detect and diagnose multiple viruses and other diseases early on using a single sample with results in just 10 to 15 minutes. Not only this but the tests’ accuracy (Very High Sensitivity > 97%) means that the results are reliable.
Able to be administered in a clinic or hospital setting using bodily fluids like faeces, blood, plasma, or serum to diagnose an animal, the tests are easy to use and require minimal training. Each kit comes with all the equipment needed to carry out the test and an instruction manual. The guide includes information about what animal diagnostic tests are, how they can be used and the conditions that they are able to diagnose.
The FastVET range includes a:
FastVET tests, animal diagnostic tests, were developed by a team of dedicated scientists focusing on animal health and diagnostic processes. However, the accumulative effects they have on veterinarians and animal care professionals are undeniable.
Their quick and easy detection and differentiation between viruses allow quicker treatment decisions and reduce diagnosis time, minimising the dependency on the laboratory or any other test equipment. Additionally, the range reduces high equipment costs and the time taken to embed the testing into a practice’s procedure – saving both time and money. Overall, the use of FastVET tests in a veterinary practice can greatly enhance the level of care provided to animals, making it an essential diagnostic tool for animal care professionals.
