Canine Blood Typing

Download Product Brochure

Both the Canine blood typing and Feline blood typing (Alvedia) are easy-to-use in-clinic tests designed to determine the major immunoreactive blood types of dogs and cats. The tests use immunochromatography and monoclonal antibodies to DEA1.1 (dog) and the A and B blood group antigens (cat). These tests can be performed with as little as one mL of blood with results obtained within three minutes. Knowing the blood type of donors and recipients is important in transfusion medicine, in particular in cats where a mismatched blood transfusion can cause rapid death. Canine and feline blood typing tests are available individually (QuickTest) or in a pack of 20 (LabTest)

Canine Crossmatch Test

Alvedia LabTest Info Sheet

Crossmatching aims to establish a serological compatibility between the recipient and the donor. The classical technology uses an agglutination reaction to detect allo antibodies produced after a previous transfusion and/or the naturally antibodies. Immuno-chromatographic technology detects the presence of immunoglobulin and/or C3 components binding to the red blood cells surface. It indicates an in vitro sensitization and can thus be used to indicate the presence of allo antibodies in pre-transfusion compatibility testing. This test also allows to detect circulating auto antibodies in the recipient.
