Welcome to the Diagnostic Laboratories

We are a dynamic, customer focused business providing a full diagnostic laboratory service of high-quality laboratory tests across many species. Tests have defined reference ranges; internal quality checks are implemented, and we participate in external quality assurance schemes.

We were the first lab in the UK to offer state-of-the-art quantitative real-time PCR assays to detect various infectious diseases. We also offer an internationally recognised cat genetic testing service to owners and breeders.

The Clinical Pathology departments are accredited by the European Congress of Veterinary Pathology & Clinical Pathology (ECVCP). Our qualified clinical pathologists work with specialists at our Small Animal Referral Hospital and Large Animal Practice providing practical, up to date advice to veterinary surgeons.

The care that Barney received, and we received, was exemplary, both during his stay at Langford and afterwards, as the recovery from Tetanus takes many weeks of therapy at home after discharge.

On each occasion the vets at the Feline Centre have been extremely friendly, capable and informative throughout the entire set of treatments.

I’m so glad I visited and I was very impressed from start to finish. It’s scary and nerve racking but all of the staff were brilliant. Big thank you.
