Veterinary Wound & Joint Infection PCR Panel
Rapid, Accurate Diagnostics for Complex Infections
Same Price as Culture — Much Better Answers
Wound infections and joint infections can progress rapidly in animals, especially postoperative patients, equine athletes, and immunocompromised pets. Traditional culture may take 3–5 days and can yield incomplete results. Chronetyx’s Veterinary Wound & Joint PCR Panel delivers fast, precise detection of clinically relevant pathogens—usually within a day.
And importantly: Our pricing matches traditional Culture & Sensitivity, while providing superior diagnostic accuracy.
Why Molecular Wound Testing Matters
Fast Turn-Around-Time
Rapid identification helps veterinarians intervene before infections worsen. Results within a day.
High Sensitivity for Hard-to-Grow Pathogens
PCR detects anaerobes, slow-growing bacteria, mixed infections, and organisms that culture frequently misses or misidentifies.
Accurate Despite Antibiotics
Wound patients are often pre-treated with antibiotic therapy. PCR remains reliable even after antibiotic use.
Reflexive Antibiotic Resistance Gene Testing
When pathogens are found, antibiotic resistance genes are automatically included—helping guide targeted therapy immediately.
Competitive Pricing
Same price as traditional culture, but receive results faster and with far higher accuracy.
Common Veterinary Applications
Equine
- Septic arthritis
- Synovial sepsis
- Non-healing post-surgical wounds
- Penetrating joint injuries
- Performance-limiting wound infections
Companion Animals
- Post-surgical wound infections
- Abscesses and bite wounds
- Chronic or recurrent wound infections
Pathogens Detected
Includes a wide range of clinically significant organisms, such as:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus species
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Escherichia coli
- Anaerobes and polymicrobial biofilms
All positives can be reflexed to antibiotic resistance gene testing.
Benefits for Veterinary Practices
Earlier, Targeted Therapy
Rapid results improve healing timelines and reduce complications.
Fewer Hospitalizations & Lower Costs
Better diagnostics lead to fewer deteriorating wounds and emergency transfers.
More Accurate Than Culture
Perfect for chronic wounds, deep infections, and cases where culture repeatedly shows “no growth.”
Reliable, Automated Results
Our fully automated platform removes manual error and ensures consistent, accurate reporting.
Better Diagnostics. Better Outcomes. Better Care.
Chronetyx provides the speed, precision, and diagnostic clarity veterinarians need to treat wound and joint infections with confidence—at the same cost as culture, but with results that are dramatically more accurate and clinically actionable. Our technology promotes smarter, targeted prescribing to strengthen antibiotic stewardship across veterinary practices.
Accuracy Matters
When an accurate diagnosis matters, speed of pathogen identification and clinical actionability are key. Chronetyx’s PCR testing detects what traditional culture misses, particularly the known organisms and pathogens that are especially difficult, if not impossible, to culture.
