Quick Tests for Veterinary Medicine

The rapid tests in this category play an important role in the veterinary laboratory. The quick tests enable the diagnosis of a large number of highly contagious, widespread and major infectious diseases. The tests include all necessary materials, are particulary easy to use and give results within minutes.

How they work

The majority of veterinary rapid tests are sandwich immunoassays which function by means of an antigen-antibody reaction. The test cassette contains specific antibodies that detect and visualise the antigens from a sample. Different sample materials are used depending on the type of test. These include whole blood, serum or plasma, but also conjunctival swabs, urine and stool samples.

An important tool for the diagnosis of many infectious diseases

Common infectious dog diseases, for which a rapid test provides important information, are for example leishmaniasis, distemper or heartworm infection.These diseases are particularly common in animals from Mediterranean countries or street dogs.

Giadia Test

The microscopic parasites of the small intestine are not only found worldwide, but are also the most common intestinal parasites - especially in young animals. The rapid Giardia test allows for the detection and visualisation of Giardia antigens from a dog or cat stool sample.The test gives you accurate reults within 10 minutes.

Parvovirus Test for Dogs and Cats

Parvovirus is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease that primarily affects dogs, with newer strains also impacting cats. It typically manifests as diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite and can, in severe cases, lead to myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle).

The easy-to-use rapid test for diagnosing parvovirus is performed using fresh canine or feline stool. For example, the Parvovirus Test by nal von Minden detects antigens of both canine and feline parvoviruses (CPV2a, 2b, 2c, CPV2, and FPV) in stool samples from dogs and cats, allowing for rapid and reliable diagnosis.

Distemper Virus Detection

To detect canine distemper virus-specific antigens

Canine distemper is particularly widespread among unvaccinated dogs from animal rescues, shelters, or puppies.

The virus affects the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and immune and nervous systems, with infection signs varying widely between animals.

The advantage of the rapid distemper test is that it can be performed using conjunctival swabs, serum, urine, or faeces.

The Distemper Test by nal von Minden allows for the quick detection of specific antigens of the canine distemper virus in conjunctival swabs, serum, urine, and faeces from dogs.

The highly sensitive immunoassay in the test cassette captures the antigens from the sample and makes them visible on the reaction field in just ten minutes.

FIV und FeLV Kombitest

Rapid tests play a key role in cats, particularly for the diagnosis of FIV or FeLV. These two viral diseases, which weaken the feline immune system, can be tested together economically and time-efficiently using a practical combination test.

For example, with the FIV & FeLV Combo Test, a combined rapid test that detects the feline leukaemia virus antigen p27 (FeLV) and antibodies against FIV-associated proteins p24 and gp41 in whole blood, serum, or plasma from cats.

Thanks to this intelligent combination, two of the most relevant viral diseases in cats can be tested simultaneously in just ten minutes.

Of course, we also offer the FIV and FeLV rapid tests separately. For detecting the feline leukaemia virus, whole blood, serum, or plasma can be used equally easily. Particularly convenient is that the FeLV rapid test can be stored safely at room temperature.
