Raising the Standard of Care with Accuplex Testing

In this one hour webinar, you will learn more about  Antech's Accuplex which is a reference laboratory test used to screen for Lyme disease, heartworm, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma.

Lyme disease detection on the Accuplex platform now also screens for antibodies to C6. The C6 peptide exists in the invariable region (IR6) of the VIsE surface lipoprotein of Borrelia burgdorferi and is only expressed following natural infection or exposure of a host. Therefore, a positive C6 result will not be reported from cross-reactivity with vaccinal antibodies. Lyme disease results will be reported as either positive or negative for the detection of antibodies against C6.

When it comes to screening your patients for Heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma, the Accuplex test offers high quality testing at an affordable price.

Improving Outcomes for Feline CKD with Predictive Diagnostics

Powered by artificial intelligence, RenalTech uses common serum and urine diagnostics to predict whether a cat will develop chronic kidney disease in the next two years—with greater than 95% accuracy!

The biggest advantage is this diagnostic tool uses common blood and urine tests that you already run routinely on your feline patients, combined with the pet’s age.
