Description

Bionote’s Vcheck V200 analyzer for veterinary fluorescence immunoassay can help point-of-care testing for various biomarkers, in-clinic at smaller practices and clinics. It helps check quantitative measurement of biomarker levels in serum, plasma and whole blood delivered for analysis via one of Vcheck’s 12 biomarker test strips. As a multiple test analyzer, the V200 can be used as a complement to your point of care lab for time-saving diagnosis and faster initiation of treatment plans along with significant cost savings per test. Vcheck is proven to be reliable, providing precise results rapidly.

The V200 can currently test for the following groups of analytes:
Pancreatic specific lipase is used to diagnose pancreatitis in dogs and cats presenting vomiting, fever, anorexia or abdominal pain. The Vcheck 200 enables accurate measurement of:

• Canine pancreatitis – specific lipase – cPL measurement range 50~2000ng/ml
• Feline pancreatitis – specific lipase – fPL measurement range 1~50ng/mL

Real-time inflammation markers – acute phase proteins cCRP and fSAA are real-time inflammation markers in cats and dogs, providing accurate and rapid information about inflammation:

• Dog inflammation marker cCRP (C-Reactive Protein) measurement range 10~200mg/L
• Cat inflammation marker fSAA (Serum amyloid A) measurement range 5~200ug/mL

Following the initial launch new tests to be released in 2018 include:

• Cortisol
• T4
• SDMA
• TSH
• Canine Progesterone
• D-Dimer

The Vcheck V200 helps the user understand the use of cCRP and fSAA which is quicker and more accurate than a WBC. They are a practical indicator for severity of illness as the marker increases proportionally with the degree of inflammation/infection. Unlike a WBC, the marker is not affected by stress, steroid drugs, NSAIDs and antibiotics. It accurately diagnoses arthritis, enterobrosia and inflammation/infection.
The Vcheck V200 Analyser provides print out and result storage. Results are also available on your smartphone or tablet via InSight Lab Manager – a Lab Management System which integrates your Lab Equipment with the host Practice Management System.
When common fluorescent complexes are used for measurement, results may be error-prone due to overlap between the stimulating and emitted wavelengths. The Vcheck V200 uses Europium which gives more accurate results as the wavelengths of the stimulating and emitted light do not overlap.
