Around a hundred employees carry out about five million analyses for our clients every year at our modern laboratory in Deventer. In addition to research into animal diseases, we also carry out research on a large scale aimed at obtaining insight into the overall animal health situation in the Netherlands.

Large-scale diagnostic testing plays a central role at the laboratory. Extensive automation, mechanisation and robotisation allow us to process large sample flows simply and easily. Our laboratory technicians are experienced in the fields of bacteriology, chemistry, immunology, molecular biology, virology, parasitology, histology, pathology, toxicology, clinical chemistry and haematology. The technical quality is monitored by internationally recognised specialists.

Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, allowing us to routinely carry out around a thousand different tests. This includes conducting molecular diagnostic tests, for example. Our veterinary pathologists also carry out post-mortem examinations (necropsies) in order to establish cause of death, gain insight into a problem at a farm or rule out certain possibilities.
