With the start of CoreOne for Labs as the WVDL’s laboratory information management system (LIMS), the WVDL will be divorcing the bacterial culture and molecular diagnostic PCR tests. The targets and quality of the tests will remain the same, but the tests will be separated for better clarity for WVDL clients. The current panel test name is listed in the first column and the next two columns provide the bacterial and molecular diagnostic tests that make up that panel test. When requesting a panel, in the future, clients will need to request both the bacterial and molecular tests separately.
| Current Panel Test | Bacterial Culture Test | Molecular Diagnostic Test |
| Bovine Respiratory Complete Panel | Bovine Respiratory Bacterial Culture | Bovine Respiratory PCR Panel |
| Bovine Bacterial Culture plus Mycoplasma PCR Panel | Bovine Respiratory Bacterial Culture | Mycoplasma bovis PCR |
As a reminder, when submitting swabs, a swab in viral transport media such as BHI is needed for Molecular Diagnostic tests and a swab in bacterial transport media such as Amie’s is needed for culture. Additionally, a culture is needed for sensitivity testing.
