Introducing ViraxVet™

25 May 2023

We at Virax Biolabs are pleased to announce the launch of our new ViraxVet™ range, positioning us at the forefront of the diagnosis of viral diseases in animals. With the introduction of our ViraxVet™ range, Virax Biolabs are expanding our footprint in the diagnostics space.

This range is just the latest addition to our portfolio of high quality, cost effective in-vitro diagnostics (IVD). Building upon our success from our ViraxClear platform for human IVDs, we have carefully assembled a diverse portfolio of PCR and antigen based diagnostic kits designed specifically for diagnosing animal diseases. Here are some key areas that make ViraxVet™ a great solution.

PCR: A Gold Standard for Veterinary Medicine:

Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”) technology has rapidly evolved to become the gold standard in human diagnostics, and we at Virax Biolabs are harnessing its power for veterinary medicine. By adapting this technology for animal disease diagnostics, the tests in our ViraxVet™ range bring unparalleled accuracy and efficiency to veterinarians and researchers alike.

Comprehensive and Multiplex Diagnostic Solutions:

Our ViraxVet™ range offers a diverse array of PCR and antigen based test kits catering to different animal groups. We cover the areas of small animals (pets), horses, and farm livestock, addressing a wide range of veterinary needs. Our meticulously curated product line ensures we provide reliable and targeted solutions for diagnosing animal diseases.

ViraxVet™ tests are available in multiplex real-time PCR and antigen formats, enabling the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens within a single sample. This advancement significantly streamlines the diagnostic process, saving valuable time and resources for veterinarians. By providing multiplex testing capabilities, we empower veterinary professionals to identify co-infections or complex disease patterns, leading to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.

Targeted Pathogens:

Our ViraxVet™ range includes PCR and antigen-based test kits that target either a single infectious pathogen or a combination of pathogens. These kits have been specifically designed to address the diagnostic needs of veterinarians caring for various animal species, from household pets to farm animals. We have carefully selected tests for use with Canine, Feline, Equine, Porcine, and Bovine animals, ensuring comprehensive coverage across different species commonly encountered in veterinary practice.

We hope that these our comprehensive range of ViraxVet™ tests will provide quick and accurate disease detection, leading to improved animal welfare, targeted treatments, and effective disease control measures.

At Virax Biolabs, we are dedicated to advancing animal disease diagnostics through our ViraxVet™ range. By offering multiplex real-time PCR and antigen tests, we are providing veterinarians with the convenient tools they need to approach diagnosis. With our comprehensive range of targeted test kits for different animal species, we want to empower veterinary professionals around the world. The ViraxVet™ range opens up new possibilities in animal healthcare by ensuring that professionals can spend their time working on better health outcomes for our beloved pets, horses, and farm livestock.
