Awanui Veterinary is proud to announce a new partnership with Antech, becoming the exclusive distributor of Antech’s point-of-care (POC) diagnostic testing solutions in New Zealand.
This collaboration brings together two organisations united by a shared commitment to diagnostic excellence and animal-first healthcare. By combining Antech’s globally established diagnostic technology with Awanui Veterinary’s nationwide reach, deep local knowledge, and New Zealand-based pathology support, giving veterinary practices greater choice in how point-of-care diagnostics fit their clinical workflows.
Local expertise. Global innovation. Choice at every step.

“By working with Antech, we’re bringing internationally proven point-of-care technology to New Zealand veterinary practices, backed by our local teams, pathology expertise, and national laboratory network,” said Scott Bishop, Chief Commercial Officer at Awanui. “The partnership gives veterinary teams greater choice and flexibility in how point-of-care diagnostics fit their workflows, alongside access to new in-clinic testing innovation, continuity of care, and confidence in every diagnostic decision.”
As diagnostic demands continue to evolve, practices are seeking flexible diagnostic options that integrate seamlessly with reference laboratory support. This partnership provides flexible point-of-care solutions tailored to different clinic sizes and workflows, while also introducing new technologies and innovation such as Nu.Q®, New Zealand’s only in-clinic canine cancer screening test, expanding in-clinic diagnostic capability to support preventative care, wellness screening, and earlier insight into cancer-associated risk.
“Awanui Veterinary’s deep understanding of the local veterinary landscape and commitment to diagnostic excellence make them a natural partner for Antech in New Zealand.” said David Miskimmin, General Manager, Antech APAC.
