New from Labmaster: Feline SAA test!

Aug 17, 2023/Niina Moilanen

Labmaster’s latest addition to the veterinary product family is Feline SAA, which measures Serum Amyloid A (SAA) in cat whole blood. SAA is a significant acute phase infection marker in cats. fSAA concentrations alter in response to a generalized inflammatory process (infections, immune-mediated illnesses, malignancy, and surgical intervention). fSAA can increase up to 100-fold from baseline levels within the first 8 to 24 hours of inflammatory stimuli. fSAA is a helpful marker in tracking the progression of the condition and how well treatment is working, including early responses to antibiotic therapy.

Labmaster’s veterinary tests are easy to perform using the small tabletop Labmaster LUCIA™ Vet Analyzer. The result is ready in 6 minutes.
