Clinical Chemistry
In the presence of clinical signs of disease, biochemical examinations, performed on serum (clotted) blood samples, may reveal abnormalities suggesting bacterial or viral infections or parasitic conditions, myopathy, hepatopathy, nephropathy, intestinal pathology or other metabolic abnormality. These examinations may also be valuable as part of a preventive medicine programme for groups of horses, when examined on a regular routine basis, and interpreted carefully, providing information which can be used as a basis for advice to trainers of race and performance horses.
Our ILab 600 automated clinical chemistry analyser performs over 14,000 biochemical examinations per annum. Results are highly repeatable and stringent quality control measures are employed.
