Veterinary Use Warfarin Portable Vet PT/INR/APTT Blood Coagulation Meter Analyzer
CHL-iLab Vet

 

Monitoring Blood Thinning Agents in Pets at Point-of-Care
 

Clinical Applications:

• Determining the effectiveness of blood-thinning agents

• To determine possible ingestion of rodent poison

• To identify coagulation factor deficiency

• To detect nonspecific antibodies associated with clotting episodes

• To monitor standard heparin anticoagulant therapy

A PT/INR test helps ensure the effectiveness of the anticoagulant drug warfarin and that prothrombin time and the internationally normalized ratio are appropriately prolonged. The APTT test is used primarily to investigate unexplained clotting or bleeding.

The iLabs Vet test merges the two tests in an easy-to-use small-sample blood test that provides highly accurate results within 2-7 minutes. The dry reagent strips can be stored at room temperature for immediate use for up to 12 or 18 months, with no equilibration required.
