Immuno-fluorescent antibody testing (IFA)
Antigen-antibody reaction causes color change Done by reference laboratories - often more accurate than ELISA
Pancreatic Tests
Assess canine pancreatic health in minutes Benefit from more diagnostic information with the only pet-side ELISA to measure pancreas-specific lipase levels
SNAP cPL
Assess canine pancreatic health in minutes Benefit from more diagnostic information with the only pet-side ELISA to measure pancreas-specific lipase levels
SNAP fPL
Assess feline pancreatic health in minutes Use the only pet-side test to measure feline pancreas-specific lipase levels.
SNAP Parvo
Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and life-threatening disease. Test puppies and dogs that present with sudden onset of lethargy, vomiting, fever and diarrhea; does not cross-react with modified live vaccines.1
Coagulation tests PT/PTT,
Citrated plasma (one full BTT spun, separated into a plain plastic tube without clot activator (WTT), labeled as citrated plasma, and frozen)- blue top
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
DNA of organism amplified so that it can be identified even when present in very small amounts in the patient's blood Tick borne diseases
SNAP Lepto procedure
Daily | 2 mL serum, 1 mL LTT, 5 mL urine in a sterile container
Snap Heartworm RT procedure
Daily, 1 mL serum, 2 mL LTT
SNAP FIV/FeLV Combo
Feline immunodeficiency virus (antibody) Feline leukemia virus (antigen)
PT/PTT
PTT is 'partial thromboplastin time', and PT is 'prothrombin time.' Both PTT and PT are tests used for measuring the time taken for the blood to clot. These two tests are mainly conducted for checking for bleeding problems or the chances of excessive bleeding during surgery
SNAP feline proBNP
Quickly assess cats with cardiac risk factors Test apparently healthy cats considered at risk for cardiac disease (murmur, breed, history, arrhythmia), any cats with respiratory signs to help rule out cardiac causes, and adult cats prior to anesthesia.
SNAP Heartworm RT
Screen and detect heartworm infection even in patients with low heartworm burden
SNAP 4Dx Plus
Screen for six vector-borne diseases Heartworm Lyme disease Ehrlichia canis Ehrlichia ewingii Anaplasma
SNAP Feline Triple
Screen test for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and heartworm disease

SNAP Giardia
identify the presence of Giardia in dogs and cats as an adjunct to a fecal flotation. Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal illness known as giardiasis.
C6 Lyme Ab
lyme disease, 1 ml serum
PCR tests (Polymerase chain reaction)
process that enables the production of virtually unlimited copies of genetic material in the laboratory. PCR testing identifies a pathogen based on the presence of the pathogen's DNA or RNA in the patient specimen, before antibody can be detected, making it a useful diagnostic tool for early disease detection in sick animals.
Plain Red tube
product is Serum, used for Chemistry panels and Drug levels
