VLS PCR-X Multiplex Ruminant Panels

One Sample. Multiple Pathogens. Better Decisions.

Introducing Australia’s new generation of multiplex qPCR screening panels

Designed specifically for veterinarians and livestock producers, VLS PCR-X simultaneously screens for multiple bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens from a single sample – delivering rapid, evidence-based insights to support faster and more informed herd health decisions. The panel range is designed around mastitis, reproductive, gastrointestinal and respiratory disease screening.

Smarter diagnostics for modern herd management

Disease is rarely caused by a single infectious agent. Traditional diagnostic testing often requires multiple individual PCR assays, increasing cost, time and complexity. VLS PCR-X changes that.

Using advanced multiplex qPCR technology, multiple pathogens can be screened simultaneously from one sample – providing veterinarians and producers with a broader diagnostic picture.

Why veterinarians and producers choose PCR-X

  • Advanced Multiplex Molecular Technology

    Novel multiplex qPCR technology detects multiple pathogens simultaneously with high analytical sensitivity and specificity.

  • Comprehensive Disease Screening

    Screen for bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens within a single sample submission.

  • Earlier Detection

    Detect disease before it becomes a major production issue.
    Support:

    • Routine herd surveillance
    • Biosecurity monitoring
    • Investigation of poor performance
    • Outbreak investigations
    • Veterinary clinical work-ups
  • Cost-effective

    Multiple pathogen detection from one sample reduces the need for multiple individual PCR assays, delivering excellent value per pathogen screened.

  • Simple Sample Collection

    Simple Sample Collection Easy-to-follow collection guides are provided.
    Suitable for:

    • Producers
    • Veterinarians
    • Farm staff

    Sample collection is intentionally simple to streamline sample collection and support routine herd health monitoring.

  • Rapid Results Report

    Results reported within 48 hours of laboratory receipt*, enabling swift management decisions and timely treatment.
