Core
Diagnostics

Complete blood counts, including differential cell counts, are performed on state-of-the-art ADVIA hematology analyzers. Antech uses proprietary artificial intelligence software (LTP) program to screen samples via a diagnostic algorithm. Screening with International Society for Laboratory Hematology guidelines ensures advanced and thorough CBC evaluation.

Cytological evaluation of fluid, tissue aspirates, impressions, or scrapings using the expertise of boarded cytopathologists facilitates diagnosis, prognosis, and guidance for further testing and treatment.

Drug monitoring based on state-of-the-art technology aids with interpretation of the clinical picture and dose adjustments to medications. Drug monitoring is available for a variety of therapies, including digoxin, potassium bromide, phenobarbital, zonisamide, keppra, cyclosporine levels, and zinc.

Antech provides a broad range of endocrine tests using validated immunoassay technologies and methods including radioimmunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and chemiluminescent immunoassay. Stringent quality assurance programs ensure accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.

Highly skilled technologists and clinical pathologists leverage world-class technology such as Cellavision to bring you accurate and comprehensive CBC and hematology results you can feel confident in.

Antech offers histological evaluation by board-certified pathologists skilled in the diagnosis of diseases from different species. Specially trained pathologists exist in the areas of dermatology and hepatology to discuss an individually tailored treatment plan with a histopathological diagnosis. Additional testing can be performed on submitted tissue, including immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, and PCR testing.

Antech provides high-quality, detailed, and complete bacteriology diagnostic services, including aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture and sensitivity testing, and specific bacterial cultures (acid-fast bacilli, salmonella, Yersinia, campylobacter), and fastidious organisms (mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and tritrichomonas).

Antech’s molecular diagnostics use and develop novel technologies that enable faster and more personalized diagnoses. With tests such as CADET® BRAF/PLUS and comprehensive PCR panels, we are the innovative leader in molecular research and testing.

Antech offers accurate, timely, and cost-efficient evaluation of samples to diagnose parasitic infections in small and large animals via fecal centrifugation, Giardia Ag ELISA assessment, Baermann evaluation, and parasite identification.

Quality control and accurate, reproducible results are our primary goal. We offer a variety of chemistry panels for both mammalian and non-mammalian species. A fully automated state-of-the-art chemistry analyzer is used. Artificial intelligence software (LTP) evaluates results to determine which samples require further review and evaluation. Serological testing is available for endocrinology (cortisol, progesterone, LH, AMH, etc.), and immunology (Acetylcholinesterase AB testing, masticatory myositis, titer assessment, protein electrophoresis, and ANA).

Toxicological analytical services focused on the identification and quantification of drugs, metals, and other potential toxicants are provided using state-of-the-art methodologies. Antech offers a variety of panels (e.g., organophosphate panel, anticoagulant panel, etc.) along with tests for specific toxins (e.g., cocaine, benzodiazepines, lead, zinc).

Antech offers urine chemistry assessment via semi-automated or fully automated reflectance spectrophotometric analysis and sediment review by a highly trained technician. Stringent criteria exist for verification and flagged samples undergo cytological review at no additional cost by a boarded pathologist. Further testing, including microalbuminuria, urine protein creatinine ratio, urinary excretion of electrolytes, and certain enzymes, is available when indicated.
