Woodley Equipment is delighted to launch RapidBacTM Vet to the industry. RapidBacTM Vet is a rapid immuno-assay for the detection of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in urine, for use as an aid in the diagnosis of canine urinary tract infections. Feline validation is currently ongoing.

Until now, the only accurate method of determining bacteriuria was by urine culture - an expensive and time-consuming test performed at specialised laboratories. With RapidBacTM Vet, you can test immediately in-practice and then treat.

With a high overall accuracy of 98.5%* and results within 20 minutes, the need to wait for laboratory results to be returned days later is over, meaning effective treatment can commence promptly. This test requires no special apparatus to conduct and can be stored at room temperature, so adding this to your practice is a cost effective solution.

International Sales Manager and Biomedical Scientist, Dave McComas (BSc MSc CSci FIBMS) says, “Woodley are excited to add the RapidBacTM Vet canine UTI test to our ever expanding portfolio of veterinary products. Our mission is to offer unique, specialist laboratory diagnostic solutions, which aid veterinary professionals to diagnose and treat their patients more effectively. With RapidBacTM Vet, it is possible to detect the presence of gram positive and gram negative bacteria in-practice in just 20 minutes as an aid to the diagnosis of canine UTI infections. This simple, cost effective rapid assay offers Woodley customers a direct replacement for urine culture.”     

This test is currently undergoing validation for feline use.

Expand your in-practice testing capability with Woodley Equipment.
