Veterinary SNAP Development
In recent years, the field of veterinary medicine has made significant strides due to the advancement of novel diagnostic techniques and treatments. Among these innovations, the SNAP analysis technology stands out, representing a groundbreaking approach to identifying a range of diseases in animals. At the forefront of veterinary SNAP development is BioVenic, an industry leader renowned for delivering top-tier diagnostic development solutions to researchers dedicated to enhancing veterinary care.
Features of Veterinary SNAP Technology
The SNAP assay is a lateral flow assay that uses the principle of ELISA technology to detect specific antigens and antibodies in animal samples.
- The technology has high sensitivity, strong specificity (up to 100%), simple operation, and rapid results (as fast as within a few minutes).
- In the SNAP assay, nonspecific binding is minimized, and weakly positive samples are more easily read.
- A variety of diseases can be detected with the SNAP assay, including vector-borne diseases, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.

Veterinary SNAP Development Process
BioVenic has a well-established development process to ensure the highest quality of service to our clients. The veterinary SNAP development process begins with a consultation with the client to discuss their specific requirements. Then, an analytical design is developed based on the client's needs. The assay is optimized and validated in-house to ensure the high level of accuracy and sensitivity.
Target Analyte Identification
After discussing with customers to identify target analytes, we provide target analysis services to conduct extensive research on target analytes to determine their unique characteristics and understand related diseases.
SNAP Assay Development
Our service selects the appropriate antigen or antibody for SNAP testing, taking into account factors such as specificity and sensitivity.
SNAP Assay Validation & Production
Use samples to validate tests to ensure their accuracy and reliability. Finally, produce SNAP tests contract manufacturing to customer needs.
R&D Strategy Design
After fully understanding the target analyte, consider the research needs of customers to design a research and development plan.
SNAP Assay Optimization
Our service optimizes the detection parameters by fine-tuning the concentration of antigens and conjugates, determining the optimal incubation time and temperature, etc., to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of the test.
