The Virus Neutralisation test (VNT) is our frontline test for detection of antibodies to equine arteritis virus as it is more sensitive than the ELISA test. The VNT takes a minimum of 48 hours and samples submitted before 10am are set up each weekday. From the 1st of March to the 31st of May the ELISA will be performed on request Monday to Saturday with a target turnaround time within 24 hours. Estimated times for both VNT and ELISA apply only to samples submitted before 10am and cannot be guaranteed during very busy periods. Samples are batched according to test and processed in order of receipt. If the type of test is not specified on the submission form the VNT will be performed. If a result is required urgently this must be indicated on the request form and the laboratory must be notified in advance of the arrival of the sample. Pre-breeding samples should be submitted in good time and allowance should be made for repeat testing and/or collection of a second sample if necessary.
