Innovative Technology for the

Equine Practice Laboratory

Measurement of blood lactate levels is nothing new to human medicine or to the advanced sports training industry. With the advent of accurate and affordable point of care lactate analyzers, a growing number of equine and small animal practitioners are beginning to recognize the important prognostic value of lactate testing in the management of the critical patient. Equine veterinarians in particular are now making serial lactate testing an important part of their diagnostic plan for managing colic, fading foals, and other life-threatening disorders.  More 

Our Spectrum culture plate and Spectrum-Plus bi-plate were developed especially for equine practitioners who demanded more information from routine uterine cultures than what might  obtained by just streaking a blood agar plate. Due to the unique properties of the Spectrum chromogenic agar, a presumptive identification of several common pathogens can be made just on color and colony morphology alone. A colony count can also be performed to assess the severity of infection.   More...

SAMPLE PROCESSING TO GO!

Timely separation of serum samples is imperative for preventing artifacts that can alter results and potentially lead to misdiagnoses. The new Porta-Spin addresses this potential problem with a centrifuge that operates on 12 volt DC current supplied by the cigarette/power receptacles in most cars and trucks allowing samples to be spun anywhere. The 6-place Porta-Spin can handle a variety of tube sizes from Microtainers to 15 ml. at a fixed speed of 3400 RPM. More..
