Bordetella ELISA Testing Discontinuation

October 14, 2026

Ongoing supply chain issues affecting the manufacturing of Zoetis’ Turkey Bordetella ELISA kits have resulted in the discontinuation of this testing service at MPTL, effective October 15, 2026. Due to the unavailability of additional kits, we are no longer able to offer Turkey Bordetella ELISA testing. 

This change also affects Turkey Panel 1 and Turkey Panel 2, as the Turkey Bordetella ELISA is a component of both panels. Modified versions of these panels are currently in development and are expected to be available in the coming weeks.  

We understand the importance of these testing services to your operations and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued partnership as we navigate this supply chain challenge. We remain committed to identifying solutions that allow us to continue meeting your diagnostic needs and will provide updates as modified panel options become available. 

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your testing needs during this transition, please do not hesitate to contact our team. Thank you for your continued trust in MPTL.
