Reader for use with the Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Test and Foal IgG Tests.
Early identification of infection or systemic inflammation is challenging, and initial clinical signs are often subtle.
Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is a valuable tool as it is rapidly responsive to clinical changes. Virtually undetectable in normal horses, it increases within 6-12 hours in acute inflammation and peaks at 1000-fold baseline values – far quicker and more dramatic than fibrinogen or WBC count. As inflammation improves, it begins dropping within 12-24 hours.This dynamic nature of SAA makes it an ideal marker for evaluating disease severity and monitoring progression or resolution of illness, including response to treatment.
10-minute SAA test
- Can be used with fresh blood, EDTA blood, or heparin blood
- Samples are collected directly from syringe or from blood tube (test within 12 hours of collection)
- Objective interpretation quantification of results with VMRD Reader
- Results range from 20 μg/mL (normal) up to 3000 μg/mL
- Calibration card keeps results consistent and accurate between readers and over time
Indicaciones de uso
For use ONLY with cartridges that will be run outside of reader using independent timers.
In this manner, multiple tests can be run simultaneously and read using the same reader.
It is recommended to wait about 30-60 seconds between starting each test to allow enough time to read at completion.
Always change calibration card when using a new box of tests.
