The SVANOVIR TGEV/PRCV-Ab is a blocking ELISA enabling detection and/or differentiation of antibodies to Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus and Porcine Respiratory Coronavirus in porcine serum samples. The assay is a very helpful tool for outbreak investigations, eradication programs and herd screenings prior to movement of pigs.

Features and benefits:

• Unique: The first and only antibody ELISA that accurately differentiates between Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus and Porcine Respiratory Coronavirus.
• High specificity, the assay for confirming TGEV infection
• Validated for application in domestic pigs and wild boars
• Prescribed test method for international trade by OIE
