Join us for the introduction of PAX 2.0, the next evolution in veterinary allergen component testing. In this webinar, world-renowned veterinary dermatologist Prof. Thierry Olivry will walk you through:
-
The research project behind PAX 2.0 and how new allergen components were identified
-
The scientific criteria used to select which allergens to be included in the new panel
-
The first-of-its-kind serum test comparison using known, identified sera — setting a new benchmark for how allergy tests should be evaluated
Whether you are new to component testing or already using PAX, this webinar will give you the scientific background and practical insights to understand what sets PAX 2.0 apart.
