Our methods
In our laboratory we employ a variety of methods for the detection and titre determination of specific antibodies, with the help of internationally recognised commercial test kits.
To determine antibody status, besides the ELISA technique, we also use Rapid Plate Agglutination (RPA), Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) tests and virus neutralisation tests (VNT).
To monitor the immune status of flocks or herds, we recommend continuous sampling of animals. In the event of a disease outbreak, cryopreserved serum samples can be tested immediately, allowing instant verification of the etiological role of any given pathogen.
