November 15, 2023 — Antech, the full-service veterinary diagnostics business that is part of the Science & Diagnostics division of Mars Petcare, has officially opened its new UK veterinary diagnostics laboratory in Warwick.
This state-of-the-art laboratory expands Antech’s UK lab network, which began with Southfields Veterinary Specialists Diagnostic Laboratory and the Dick White Referrals Diagnostic Laboratory, giving veterinary professionals a more dynamic and flexible selection of diagnostics services to provide the right diagnostics at the right time.
A trusted partner in delivering veterinary diagnostics for more than 35 years, Antech brings to the UK a portfolio that spans reference laboratory services, in-house diagnostics, comprehensive imaging and technology solutions, advanced telemedicine services, and innovative rapid diagnostics.
Antech’s offerings in the UK will include innovative diagnostic solutions that help veterinary professionals such as:
- KeyScreen™, a DNA-based GI parasite screening solution and the most advanced in veterinary medicine;
- AIS RapidRead™, the fastest, most accurate rapid imaging technology that enables diagnosis in under ten minutes;
- Nu.Q®, coming soon to the UK, a breakthrough innovation that measures nucleosomes to screen and monitor for canine cancer.
A world-class portfolio, giving veterinary professionals more comprehensive choice
Dr. Christian M. Leutenegger, Vice President of Research & Development at Antech said: “Excellence in diagnostics enables vets to decide the best treatment approach for pets, which is so important because they can’t tell us what or how they are feeling. We have brought innovative technologies and solutions backed by scientific rigor and data-driven insights to veterinary professionals for more than 35 years. We are excited to establish this new reference lab in the UK and, for the first-time, support veterinarians throughout the country with our full-service offering and most advanced technologies.”
Nefertiti Greene, President, Mars Science & Diagnostics said: “At Mars Science & Diagnostics we are focused on enabling pets to live their healthiest lives through science, data and technology. We are continuing to bring this vision to life by establishing a full-service veterinary diagnostics offering in the UK, which spans reference labs, in-house diagnostics, imaging and software solutions. Our aim is for the new Warwick-based Antech reference lab to help UK veterinary care teams achieve the best pet health outcomes, in support of our purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS™.”
