VolitionRx Limited a multi-national epigenetics company, has announced that its Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test is now available in-clinic to veterinarians across the U.S and Europe through Antech, a leading veterinary diagnostics company.
Antech's in-clinic version of the Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Test operates on the Element i+® Analyzer, providing veterinarians with a rapid, accurate and cost-effective cancer screening tool for high-risk breeds and older dogs, at the patient side, with results in about six minutes.
Dr Tom Butera, Chief Executive Officer of Volition Veterinary Diagnostics Development LLC, said: "Through this collaboration, our groundbreaking Nu.Q® technology is now available to veterinarians across the U.S. and Europe, enabling vital canine cancer screening and providing in-clinic results within minutes. By incorporating the Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Test into annual checkups or regular senior wellness exams, veterinarians can detect cancer¹ earlier and help pet owners make timely, informed decisions about cancer care."
