Feline diarrhea
PCR panel
Test code:
P0028
- Feline diarrhea panel. This panel includes qualitative detection and
differentiation of the following feline diarrheagenic pathogens using
various PCR protocols:
Vets frequently see diarrhea in cats that could be caused by a number
of different viral, bacterial or protozoal agents. Treatment and
quarantine protocols differ among these pathogens, and can be costly
and stressful for animals and owners.
The Zoologix feline diarrhea test panel is a powerful, cost-effective
diagnostic tool for use in these cases. Zoologix performs this panel
using highly specific and sensitive PCR test protocols to enable
rapid, accurate diagnosis.
All nine assays are run from one fecal sample or rectal swab,
eliminating multiple sampling requirements.
Utilities:
-
Help confirm the pathogen causing diarrhea in cats
-
Selection of appropriate treatment regimen
-
Shorten the time required to confirm a clinical diagnosis
-
Help ensure that cat groups are free of listed diarrheagenic pathogens
-
Early prevention of spread of listed pathogens
-
Minimize human exposure to listed pathogens
-
Safety monitoring of biological products that derive from
susceptible animals
Specimen requirement: 0.5 ml feces, or two
rectal swabs.
For specimen types other than those listed here, please call to
confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.
For all specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or
during very warm weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship
with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are
specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain frozen
in transit. See
shipping instructions for more information.
Turnaround time: 3 business days
