From Consulting Room to Lab Bench: How In-Clinic qPCR is Changing the Way we Manage Common Conditions and Antimicrobial Use in Small Animal Practice

11 Jun 2026
Exhibitor Showcase

The session will explain what in-clinic qPCR is and adds to general practice. It will identify common clinical scenarios where it is useful. We will discuss how qPCR supported more targeted antimicrobial use as well as the limitations of the technology and how to practically implement in your practice.

  • Learn the benefits and limitations of qPCR in practice
  • That advanced molecular diagnostics is no longer something that is difficult or expensive to have in practice
  • How it can be used in common conditions such as diarrhoea and respiratory work ups in companion animals to give quicker diagnoses and hence treatment decisions
  • How you can use qPCR to decide on antimicrobial treatment
