July 6, 2022 – We previously announced that we would be reserving our Brucella canis Antibody assay (90009) for export testing only due to a nationwide reagent supply shortage. Unfortunately, the test kits have been discontinued by the manufacturer and we are no longer able to perform this test.
For clinical cases, we continue to recommend the Brucella canis IFA assay (60067) which is an equivalent test. If testing is needed for canine import/export, the IFA assay may not meet importation requirements which can vary by country.
