To do this we offer not only a comprehensive portfolio of routine clinical pathology investigations, but also a novel panel of gastroenterology, genetics, infectious disease and allergy services. Batt Laboratories Ltd has been founded by Professor Roger Batt BVSc, MSc, PhD, FRCVS, Diplomate ECVIM-CA who has an international reputation in veterinary internal medicine and has held senior posts in academia and industry. He is particularly well known for his clinical research which has led to the development of novel diagnostic tests and advances in the management of gastrointestinal diseases in small companion animals. From February 2015 BattLab belongs to the family of LABOKLIN Laboratories. BattLab has doubled in size and greatly increased the spectrum of tests offered. BattLab in Coventry (UK) BattLab can make use of over 30 years of experience in the field of veterinary laboratory medicine. The professional staff is composed of two Board Certified Veterinary Clinical Pathologists, Francesco Cian (DVM, DipECVCP, FRCPath, MRCVS) and Lucia Sanchini (DVM, MSc, DipECVCP, FRCPath, MRCVS). This enables us to offer a high quality and rapid in-house cytology service.
