Delivering complete PCR solutions for Veterinary Science

SHARD DIAGNOSTICS™ Veterinary multiplex qPCR assays are designed for a wide range of applications, including gene expression (1-step RT-qPCR), mutation detection, SNP genotyping, and target quantification. The assays deliver reliable, high-performance results across diverse animal species. The assays are fully compatible with extraction-free workflows, enabling efficient use in both high-throughput laboratories and field-based testing environments.

SHARD DIAGNOSTICS™ kit features

Each kit features lyophilized inhibitor-tolerant reagents that deliver consistent amplification even from challenging or impure samples, effectively eliminating performance variability caused by the sample or extraction process. The universal chemistry supports all targets using a standardized cycling protocol, allowing multiple assays to run on the same 96-well plate. Quantified positive controls are included to standardise run performance across machines and provide quality control measures.

Solutions not just kits

Universal cycling, common fluorophores and automation compatible for fast integration.

Complete kits

Quantified controls included as standard. Optional collection tubes provided.

Advanced performance

Extraction-free for RNA and DNA. Target detection down to 0.001% VAF or 3 copies.

Available globally

All reagents are lyophilized for ambient shipping and inhibitor-tolerant as standard.
