Antech Diagnostics offers a vast array of diagnostic services, providing veterinarians with the tools they need to make informed decisions about your pet's health. Our comprehensive laboratory capabilities cover virtually every aspect of veterinary diagnostics.

• Clinical Pathology: This includes a wide range of blood and urine tests. Our hematology services analyze blood cell counts and characteristics, crucial for detecting anemia, infections, and certain cancers. Clinical chemistry panels assess organ function, checking liver and kidney health, blood glucose levels, and electrolyte balance. Urinalysis helps identify kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and diabetes.

• Anatomic Pathology: Our expert veterinary pathologists examine tissue biopsies and cytology samples to diagnose diseases at the cellular level. This is vital for confirming cancers, identifying inflammatory conditions, and understanding the nature of lumps and growths. Accurate histopathology and cytopathology reports are essential for guiding treatment protocols.

• Microbiology: We provide comprehensive bacterial, fungal, and parasitic identification, along with antimicrobial susceptibility testing. This helps veterinarians determine the most effective antibiotics or antifungals for treating infections, minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance.

• Molecular Diagnostics: Utilizing advanced PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology, we detect specific DNA or RNA sequences of pathogens, allowing for rapid and highly sensitive diagnosis of infectious diseases, even before clinical signs are evident. This includes testing for various viral and bacterial diseases.

• Endocrinology: Specialized testing for hormonal imbalances, such as thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism) and adrenal gland diseases (Cushing's disease, Addison's disease), which are common in pets and require precise diagnostic measurement.

• Serology: Detection of antibodies and antigens to diagnose infectious diseases, monitor vaccination status, and assess immune responses. This includes testing for diseases like Lyme disease, heartworm, and feline leukemia virus.

• Toxicology: Identifying exposure to toxins, poisons, and drugs, which is critical in emergency situations to guide life-saving interventions.

• Allergy Testing: Helping veterinarians identify environmental and food allergies in pets, allowing for targeted management and treatment plans to improve your pet's quality of life.

• Genetics Testing: Screening for inherited diseases and genetic predispositions in various breeds, which can inform breeding decisions and proactive health management.
