Veterinary diagnostics premium instrument installed base measures the number of premium diagnostic analyzers installed at veterinary customer locations.

A larger installed base creates more opportunities for practices to run diagnostic tests and purchase consumables over multiple years.
IDEXX reported that its premium instrument installed base grew 11% year over year in the second quarter of 2026.
Installed units are not the same as utilization
A placed analyzer only creates economic value when clinics use it.
