UC Davis is the first Veterinary PCR Diagnostic Laboratory offering Real-Time (RT) TaqMan® PCR for a broad palette of species including dogs, cats, horses, birds and ruminants. Real-Time PCR is the most sensitive technique for nucleic acid detection via the generation of a fluorescent signal. The laboratory setup, including separation-of-workflow, and stringent quality control procedures, along with standardized protocols increase accuracy and reduce the risk of contamination. Our highly knowledgeable and trained DVM’s are available to discuss any questions along with help of interpretation of PCR results.
