Speed™ Trio is a unique in-house diagnostic test combination, launched by Virbac in 2016. Speed™ Trio enables the rapid detection of FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus) antigens; anti-FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) and anti-FCoV (Feline Coronavirus) antibodies in just 15 minutes.
Speed™ Trio sits within Virbac’s extensive Speed™ in-house diagnostic range and is designed to facilitate the diagnosis of immunosuppressive diseases, such as FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). When a cat tests positive for Feline Coronavirus and either FeLV or FIV it is at increased risk of developing FIP¹. Therefore serological testing for all three diseases is the logical step.
Virbac's Speed™ range, as a whole, has been enhanced to further improve the readability of the tests and the brightness of the test bands.
Commenting on the launch of Speed™ Trio, Product Manager Madeline Haynes explained: "The Speed™ range, which has been proven in practice for more than 20 years, offers a comprehensive suite of in-house diagnostic tests, which are easy to perform and highly cost-effective to use in practice.
"Speed™ Trio is not only a unique test combination that helps to facilitate diagnosis of immunosuppressive diseases but also boosts client satisfaction and can support practice profitability."
