The qLabs
®
Vet system, which consists of qLabs

in fresh venous blood and citrated whole blood. The qLabs
®
Vet system is
only for veterinarian professional use in feline, canine and other animals.
1.3 Test Principle
The qLabs ® Vet automatically detects the insertion of a qLabs ® test strip
and heats the strip to a preset operating temperature. After a drop of
blood is applied to the strip, the sample channel automatically carries
the blood sample into the reaction zone through capillary action, where
the blood mixes with pre-printed reagent and starts coagulation process.
As the blood coagulates, conductivity across the test strip changes. The
system measures this electrical change and calculates the development of
a clot. The values are then displayed.
