Quick Test DAT Feline (Direct Antiglobulin Test)

 

Importance of DAT

A Coombs Test or Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is performed to detect the presence of antibodies against red blood cells. It is used in the diagnosis of Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA).

 

Benefits

• 2O minutes procedure.
• All material included.
• Time saving.
• Easy handling.
• Reliable results.
• Easy interpretation.
• Snap result.

 

Our technology

The classical technology uses incubation of washed red blood cells suspension with antisera that causes agglutination. Our immuno-chromatographic technology will detect the presence of immunoglobulin (IgG & IgM) and/or C3 components binding to the RBC surface. A positive result indicates an in vivo sensitization and can thus be used to indicate the presence of auto-immune antibodies.

Our Feline Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) aims to detect the presence of immunoglobulins and/or C3 components on the surface of patient’s red blood cells (RBCs).

EmMa Crossmatch Test Feline

 

The NEW Feline XM Test provides 2 Immuno-chromatography strips:

• 1 STRIP for MAJOR XM (Donor RBC + Recipient Plasma/serum)
• 1 STRIP for MINOR XM (Recipient RBC + Donor Plasma/serum)

On each strip, we have incorporated a specific Feline anti-globulin reagent that will detect the presence of immunoglobulins (IgG & IgM) and/or C3 components binding to the red blood cells surface. In pre-transfusion compatibility testing, a positive XM result between donor and recipient will indicate the presence of alloantibodies.

The innovative packaging is based on a bench-top workstation for facilitating the test procedure. All material is provided in an individual packaging. The test procedure can be done in 20 minutes. Results can be interpreted immediately by all operators. The test requires a centrifuge for the washing procedure only.

Alvedia Blood Typing Quick Test for Feline

 

The most reliable blood typing test on the market

Determining blood types represents an essential process in order to ensure animals benefit from transfusion support. Nowadays, a dog or a cat has a significant probability of being transfused once or more in their lifetime. Basic blood typing is essential to perform these first and subsequent transfusions as safely as possible.

That’s why Alvedia has focused research on a better knowledge of blood typing in dogs and cats. We are now proud to enable the veterinary community to benefit from its latest project by putting at their disposal typing systems based on an innovative Immuno-Chromatography membrane. These systems have been trialed and are now used by veterinary universities and veterinary professionals worldwide.

Easy Quick Test DAT Canine (Direct Antiglobulin Test)

 

Importance of DAT

A Coombs Test or Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is performed to detect the presence of antibodies against red blood cells. It is used in the diagnosis of Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). IMHA is the most common cause of hemolytic anemia in dogs.

 

Benefits

• 2O minutes procedure.
• All material included.
• Time saving.
• Easy handling.
• Reliable results.
• Easy interpretation.
• Snap result.

Canine Crossmatching

 

Importance of crossmatching

Dogs have many blood types on the surface of their red blood cells and with the absence of test kits for all of these blood groups (except for DEA 1), it is mandatory to perform a reliable crossmatch test before any transfusion. Crossmatching aims to establish a serological compatibility between the recipient and the donor. Our canine major crossmatch test will allow you to pick up incompatibilities accross all canine blood groups (DEA 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, DAL…).

 

Benefits

• 25 minutes procedure.
• All material included.
• Time saving.
• Easy handling.
• Reliable results.
• Easy interpretation.

 

Our technology

Our canine crossmatch test (major and/or minor) is based on an immuno-chromatographic technology that will detect the presence of immunoglobulins (IgG & IgM) and/or C3 components binding to the red blood cells (RBCs) surface.

Alvedia Blood Typing Quick Test for Canine

 

Importance of blood typing

Transfusion has taken an increasingly important role in the life support of canine and feline patients. Thus, the need for quick and accurate blood typing has now been recognized in order to assure safe and efficient transfusion.

It is now essential to perform blood typing to save animal lives in case of:

• Traumatic shock
• Some infectious diseases
• Surgical procedures
• Hypoproteinemia
• Iron deficiency
• Severe anemia
• Spleen injury
• Acute hemolysis syndrome
• Severe bleeding after diseases and shocks

 

IN DOGS

The determination of DEA 1 antigen is strongly recommended before any blood transfusion to avoid a potent alloantibody response against this antigen and to avoid acute hemolytic transfusion reaction.
