Can the human biochemistry Analyzer detect the animal?

With the development of small animal clinical diagnosis technology, the veterinary blood biochemical analyzer is gradually popularized, which has brought great help to the clinical diagnosis of vet diseases. It’s the clinical veterinarian’s right hand.

Biochemistry Analyzer has a medical and animal version. Many people will have questions.

Can human biochemistry analyzer be used to detect animals?

Firstly, the answer is yes.

Whether it is a human or animal biochemistry analyzer, the principle of detection and analysis methods are roughly the same.

The analytical methods of biochemical analyzer can be divided into four categories: end point method, fixed time method, continuous monitoring method, turbidimetric transmission method.

Since the principle is basically the same,

Why is there an animal version of the biochemistry analyzer?

This is because the reference range of human and animal biochemical indicators is different. If you use a human biochemical instrument to measure an animal, for example, you use a human biochemistry analyzer to measure the kidney function of a cat. There is no animal biochemical reference range, then you need to find the cat’s biochemical reference range, and manually enter the reference range.

This is very cumbersome to operate, and will increase the workload. But if we purchase animal version biochemistry analyzer at the beginning, we can try to avoid these problems.

Conclusion: the biochemistry analyzer for human use can be used to detect animals, but it needs to input the reference range of animals manually. The operation is complicated and the result is not necessarily accurate. It may affect the diagnosis result.

It is not recommended to use a human biochemistry analyzer for testing animals. A veterinary biochemistry analyzer is a good choice.
