We manufacture equine diagnostic kits in-house and also serve as a distributor of VMRD and ALVEDIA\u2019s innovative\u2014and accurate\u2014veterinary diagnostic kits in order to cover a wide range of diagnostic needs from immunoglobulin testing to early infection detection.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>VMRD Equine Serum Amyloid A Test<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud to serve as a distributor of VMRD\u2019s Serum Amyloid A Test that allows for early detection of infection. Early identification of infection can be challenging as the clinical signs are often subtle. The VMRD Equine SAA test is an indispensable tool to aid veterinarians in this challenge, as serum amyloid A (SAA) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0737080620303130\">rapidly responsive to clinical changes<\/a>. It is virtually undetectable in normal animals but increases with acute inflammation more rapidly, dramatically, and predictably than fibrinogen or white-blood-cell count. SAA starts dropping as soon as disease begins to resolve, allowing objective monitoring of clinical condition and treatment efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>Easily administered in field or hospital settings, the VMRD Equine SAA diagnostic test allows practitioners to catch infections earlier, potentially reducing the occurrence of acute symptoms that may require advanced treatment and monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Download VMRD Equine SAA product sheet <a href=\"https:\/\/plasvaccusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/PV-USA-VMRD-Equine-Diagnostic-Test-Kits-Flyer-8.5x11in-Final-WEB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Gamma Check\u00ae C<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Determining the quality of a mare\u2019s colostrum is essential in anticipating whether or not a foal is at a heightened risk for Failure of Passive Transfer, allowing time to take proper preventative measures. Plasvacc\u2019s Gamma Check C equine diagnostic kit is also a great method for selecting only high-quality colostrum for supplementation and banking. The kit allows for the effective testing of both fresh and thawed colostrum.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Gamma Check\u00ae E<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While most veterinarians and owners incorporate Equiplas into their standard of care for all foals, for some owners this can be cost-prohibitive and as a result may be reserved for higher-risk foals only. The Gamma Check E diagnostic kit offers reliable indication of IgG levels in the first 12-24 hours after birth and is important for <em>all<\/em> foals in order to ensure their freedom from <a href=\"https:\/\/plasvaccusa.com\/what-is-failure-of-passive-transfer-in-foals-a-comprehensive-look\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT)<\/a> or Partial FPT. As FPT can lead to a much higher risk of potentially fatal disease and\/or infection, testing to ensure full transfer of immunity isn\u2019t just a good investment in the health of your foal, it should be considered essential.<\/p>\n<p>Download Gamma Check E product sheet <a href=\"https:\/\/plasvaccusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Gamma-Check-E-Rapid-Foal-Side-Screening-for-Neonatal-IgG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first step to a better prognosis is a proper diagnosis and our range of diagnostic kits allows for quick, accurate testing both in the clinic and in the field.
