Biomeme will attend the 2018 AAVLD / USAHA Annual Meeting. This Annual Meeting brings you the latest in veterinary diagnostic laboratory science, animal health, and disease regulation policy throughout the United States. This year the Annual Meeting is taking place in Kansas City, MO from October 18 - 22nd, 2018, so stop by booth #212 to meet the Biomeme team and discover the future of mobile real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction).

Event: 2018 AAVLD / USAHA Annual Meeting

Organization: American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) and the United States Animal Health Association (USAHA)

Date: Thursday, October 18, 2018 - Monday, October 22, 2018

Location: Sheraton Kansas City Hotel & Crown Center

Booth: #212

Also -- don’t forget to meet Heidi Norton, one of our senior biologists, when she presents her poster on "Rapid and Accurate Detection of Significant Avian and Equine Pathogens" from 3 PM to 4 PM on Saturday, October 20, 2018. She co-authored this poster with the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. Early detection of veterinary diseases play a crucial role in containing and preventing outbreaks, which can imperil food security, human health, and cause significant economic loss. Current work-flows often take more than 24 hours from sample collection to results, potentially increasing the risk of disease spread. Disease surveillance efforts would benefit greatly from tools that enable rapid, point of need detection. In this study, respiratory panels for both avian and equine pathogens were developed, validated, and compared to rtPCR tests routinely used by the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory system (PADLS).
