VMRD
Founded in 1981 with the vision of creating superior veterinary diagnostics kits and related reagents, VMRD boasts the most comprehensive portfolio of veterinary diagnostics products worldwide. These include USDA-licensed ELISA kits, immunofluorescence reagents, antibodies, and Coombs testing reagents, with a strong focus on canine, feline, bovine, porcine, and equine. VMRD has a strong market reputation for delivering best in class products and services and, as a result, has had a global impact on improvements in animal welfare.
At 2BScientific, we frequently receive enquiries from researchers seeking veterinary diagnostic products to monitor disease, and we have no hesitation in endorsing VMRD to supply these. Recently, we’ve recommended VMRD’s ELISA kits to laboratories wishing to accurately detect antibodies specific to conditions including bluetongue and foot and mouth disease, and we’ve also suggested VMRD’s antibodies to monitor antigens such as canine distemper and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Lately, we’ve noticed increased interest in VMRD’s Johne’s Disease Antibody Test Kit, a product intended for detection of antibodies to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) antigen in bovine sera by ELISA. In the US alone, Johne’s Disease affects approximately 70% of dairy herds1 yet has no effective vaccine, making accurate diagnostic testing pivotal to management efforts. In many cases, we can suggest an off-the-shelf product from VMRD. However, in situations where a product has not yet been developed, we never hesitate to mention VMRD’s range of service offerings.
These include testing of raw ingredients, seeds, serum, and other entities for infectious organisms, as well as cell and virus bank testing services like sterility testing, mycoplasma testing, and testing for viral contaminants during biopharmaceutical or vaccine manufacture.
