Product news

HORIBA UK Limited will be showcasing its new benchtop POCKIT™ Central* in-house veterinary PCR analyzer on Stand C3 at the BEVA Congress, Birmingham, 4-7 September. HORIBA’s first live event this year will give visitors the opportunity to see how easy it is to carry out in-house PCR Testing on the POCKIT Central. The simple “sample in, result out” process provides fast, accurate PCR testing in only 85 mins for up to 8 pathogens in one run. Ideally suited to veterinary practices, the POCKIT Central ensures confident diagnostic and case management decision making without needing to wait for external laboratory results.

The POCKIT Central offers more than 190 PCR tests, including over 30 new ones, tailored to Equine, Small Animal and Farm practices, with specialist assays for Poultry and Aquaculture. Equine diagnostic tests include Theileria equi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus equi, EHV, Taylorella equigenitalis and influenza, and other new tests include Lyme disease, Dirofilaria immitis, Neospora caninum, Mec A gene for MRSA and IBR.

BEVA visitors will also be able to see HORIBA’s LAQUAtwin Ca-11C waterproof, pocket ionized calcium (iCa) meter for on-site monitoring of ionized calcium, and HORIBA experts will be on hand to talk about the PC400 clinical chemistry analyzer.

HORIBA UK will also participate in Vets North (Haydock Park Racecourse, 15-16 September) so vets of all specialties can see HORIBA’s accurate diagnostic instruments and discuss their use with the HORIBA Team.

Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Animal ModelsThe use of non-human animals in experiments or behavorial observations. The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. Pathogen DetectionPathogen detection is the process of identifying harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause diseases. Accurate pathogen detection is critical for food safety, public health, and clinical diagnostics. Explore pathogen detection products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.PCR AutomationPCR automation describes the process of using a thermocycler to complete the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process quickly and efficiently.
