Animal Health
R-Biopharm Australia’s Animal Health diagnostics portfolio provides advanced molecular diagnostic solutions for the detection of pathogens affecting companion animals and livestock. Using multiplex PCR technology, our veterinary diagnostic panels enable laboratories to identify multiple bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal targets from a single sample, supporting accurate diagnosis, disease monitoring and improved animal health management.
Comprehensive Veterinary Pathogen Detection
Animal diseases can be caused by a diverse range of pathogens, many of which share similar clinical signs and require targeted testing approaches for accurate identification. R-Biopharm Australia’s multiplex PCR solutions provide comprehensive pathogen detection across a range of veterinary applications, allowing laboratories to assess multiple relevant targets simultaneously from a single sample.
From companion animal health to livestock disease management, our diagnostic panels support veterinary laboratories with reliable molecular insights that assist disease investigation, surveillance programs and informed health management decisions.
