Diagnostics for Equine Health
Serum Amyloid A (SAA) test provides nearly real-time detection of infection and inflammation.
Fibrinogen test aids in assessing infection and inflammation status in horses.
Foal IgG test measures IgG antibody levels in newborn foals and aids in assessing failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPT, FTPI).
Rapid Results - On-Site.
True Quantitative Result
The test provides a precise numerical value of the analyte in the sample. This aids in making informed treatment decisions and allows for accurate monitoring of the treatment's effectiveness.
In 6 Minutes
The test provides results in just six minutes, enabling rapid decision-making and immediate treatment. This saves time and improves treatment outcomes.
On-Site
The test can be performed directly at the stable or clinic, reducing the need to send samples to a lab. This allows for faster diagnosis and treatment without delays.
Is your foal protected? Find out how to measure antibodies at the stable.
In this video, a veterinarian performs a health examination on a newborn foal and measures its antibody levels.
The foal is born without antibodies, and its immunity relies entirely on the antibodies present in colostrum. In this video, we demonstrate how easy it is for the veterinarian to measure the antibody level directly in the stable. With a rapid test result, the veterinarian can ensure that the foal receives the necessary protection immediately after birth.
The quickly available quantitative result allows necessary treatments to begin without delay. For initiating plasma therapy, the speed of the test is a crucial advantage, as it can significantly impact the foal's health and development, contributing to its future well-being.

Veterinarians and breeders from various countries share their experience with the Foal IgG test – performed directly at the stable using the LUCIA Vet analyzer, as shown in the images above.
Video: Performing the Labmaster LUCIA™ equine SAA test – a simple rapid test for quantitative determination of serum amyloid A (SAA) in horses.
Easy test procedure offers quick access to health information.
Rapid or point-of-care (POC) veterinary diagnostics reduces costs and and facilitates the early steps of beginning treatment. Labmaster's tests are based on a small whole blood sample and produce a quantitative result in 6 minutes.
Tests can be performed when and where needed, such as the veterinarian's office, care facility, animal clinic or stable.
The test procedure is easy, as you can see on this video of performing the Labmaster LUCIA™ Equine SAA test.
We are happy to arrange an online demonstration of the LUCIA Vet platform.
