Virginia Tech Animal Laboratory Services joins CoreOne for Labs family

The Virginia Tech Animal Laboratory Services (ViTALS) at Virginia Tech University has selected Trace First’s CoreOne for Labs to support the laboratory’s participation in the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. CoreOne for Labs is able to output required messages in conformance with the National Animal Health Laboratory Network's standards and currently supports production of the required HL7 NAHLN format for HPAI, FMD, CSF, Swine Influenza viruses, ASF, VSV, PRV, SECD, SVA and APMV-1. ViTALS will join eight other laboratories in North America using the CoreOne for Labs system. CoreOne for Labs offers a step-change in speed of operation and flexibility for customers.

We are excited to be using CoreOne for Labs to meet our NAHLN testing and messaging needs. The development and support teams at Trace First fully understand and quickly adapt to changes in processes and messaging structure, and we appreciate the flexibility of the system.
