The accurate, affordable, and non-invasive diagnostic for cancer screening and monitoring in canines is an ideal fit within Heska’s expanding portfolio of best-in-class solutions. This is an important achievement in our transformative work together as we move towards the launch of our flagship point of care solution anticipated in 2023.”

It is another key milestone for us, as we press ahead with our aim to ensure as many veterinarians as possible can access our Nu.Q Vet Cancer Screening Test for the pets and pet owners who trust them.
