Bringing diagnostics to life

Veterinarians now have access to diagnostic tools that are faster, more accurate, and more precise than ever before, thanks to advances in molecular technology. These tools include a wide range of tests that can be used to detect the presence of specific pathogens, to monitor herd health, certify disease-free status, act as a basis for disease eradication schemes and monitor the response to vaccination programs.

Life Technologies Animal Health has been a driving force behind the recent advances in production animal diagnostics and is now one of the leading suppliers of modern diagnostic tools to veterinary laboratories around the world. Our range of diagnostic tools includes ELISA and PCR test systems which cover the most economically important diseases of beef and dairy cattle.

Our vision is to provide veterinarians and farmers with comprehensive diagnostic solutions and support which will help them diagnose health issues more quickly, accurately and reliably than ever before – and so enhance the health, welfare and productivity of the animals in their care.

Because healthy animals are productive animals.
