Advanced Multiplex Molecular Technology
Novel multiplex qPCR technology detects multiple pathogens simultaneously with high analytical sensitivity and specificity.
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
-
-
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.
-
