The practical bench application of molecular tests (here defined as nucleic acid-based tests) in a routine testing situation is not without its challenges. This paper outlines the approaches we take at the Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA) and highlights some of the practical issues which we have found to be important for the successful introduction and use of molecular tests in a routine testing environment. The potential advantages of molecular tests, and factors which dictate which tests are adopted for routine testing, are discussed before giving some examples of molecular tests in routine use at the VLA. The instrumentation, reagents and assays we use are outlined, followed by sections of how we approach validation and how we manage and resource the transfer of molecular tests into routine use.
