Vet chroma D-dimer
Vet chroma™ D-Dimer is a Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) for the quantitative determination of D-Dimer in canine plasma (sodium citrate).
D-Dimer, a degradation product of cross-linked fibrin formed during activation of the coagulation system, is commonly used to exclude thromboembolic disease in outpatients suspected of having deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonaryembolism (PE). DVT and PE is relatively common and can cause sudden, fatal embolic events in the pulmonary arteries and other regions. Measurement of the D-Dimer level in plasma has been used as a screening strategy for subclinical DVT. A systematic review reported that a normal range of a highly sensitive D-Dimer level accurately ruled out DVT in patients classified as having a low or moderate clinical probability of DVT.
Please follow procedure on the Screening of Vet chroma™ reader.
- Make a puncture on the top of the detection buffer tube by inserting an empty capillary cap.
- Transfer 50㎕ of the sample (Canine plasma/control) using a micropipette to a tube containing the Detection buffer tube (punched tube).
- Assemble the capillary cap and the tube into one. Shake the 5 times or more until the sample out of the capillary cap by inversion.
- Remove the cap off the top of the assembled tube. Discard 2 drops of reagent onto the paper towel before applying to the cartridge. Load only 2 drops of the mixture onto the sample well of the cartridge. And Leave the Cartridge on the Vet Chroma holder
- Instrument for Vet chroma™ tests will start automatically scanning the sample-loaded cartridge after 12minutes.
- Read the test result on the display screen of the instrument for Vet chroma™ tests.
