Welcome to the Diagnostic Laboratories

We are a dynamic, customer focused business providing a full diagnostic laboratory service of high-quality laboratory tests across many species. Tests have defined reference ranges; internal quality checks are implemented, and we participate in external quality assurance schemes.

We were the first lab in the UK to offer state-of-the-art quantitative real-time PCR assays to detect various infectious diseases. We also offer an internationally recognised cat genetic testing service to owners and breeders.
