As the number of pets kept increases, more and more pet owners are taking their pets' health seriously. Biochemical testing is the most common health screening tool for pets. But when do pets need biochemical testing?

Biochemical testing refers to the determination of the normal function of systems and organs by the levels of enzymes, proteins, lipids and other metabolites in the pet's blood. Pets usually need biochemical testing in the following situations.

When Do Pets Need Biochemical Tests

1. physical examination

Unlike people, pets do not express themselves in words and have a high tolerance for pain, so they can easily hide diseases such as chronic nephritis and heart disease. By the time specific symptoms are detected, the disease has already progressed to the middle and late stages. The price of treating these chronic diseases can be more than ten or even dozens of times the price of a medical examination. The regular biochemical tests can help pet owners better understand the indicators of their pets' bodies.

2. Before surgery

Surgical treatment can put pets at higher risk. Biochemical testing can help veterinarians better understand the normal function of the liver, kidneys and other organs of the pet, so as to better reduce the risk of surgery.

3. Detecting disease

When veterinarians suspect a problem with the heart, liver, kidneys or pancreas, biochemical testing is needed to evaluate the pet. Biochemical tests are also needed to confirm the recovery of the pet during the treatment process.

After adding approximately 100 ul of sample from the spiked well, place the test disc into the instrument's telescoping bin. The telescoping bin transports the test disc to the working position. The biochemistry instrument lifting device (top bar) then clamps the test disc in place. At the same time it pushes the integrated dilution cup in the test dish upwards and tears a small opening for the liquid to spill out (topping off the water cup).

When the biochemical analyzer contains a component in the reaction solution. Or the absorption peak of the component to be measured in the mixed reaction solution, there is no overlap with the absorption wavelength of other co-existing substances. Single wavelength can be selected.
