Feline blood typing has become an essential safety procedure in veterinary medicine, and the Сабервет test represents the cutting edge of diagnostic technology from a leading veterinary diagnostics manufacturer. This rapid immunochromatographic test delivers results with high accuracy, making blood typing accessible even in emergency situations.

Why Feline Blood Typing is Critical for Veterinary Practice

Mismatched blood transfusions can trigger severe transfusion reactions, potentially resulting in patient death. Similarly, neonatal isoerythrolysis occurs when kittens with type A blood nurse from mothers with type B blood, absorbing antibodies that cause hemolytic anemia. The Сабервет test prevents these tragedies by enabling rapid, accurate blood type identification before transfusions or breeding.

Type A cats naturally possess low titers of anti-B antibodies (mostly IgG), while type B cats have high titers of anti-A IgM antibodies. Type AB cats are immunotolerant to both antigens and lack corresponding antibodies. Understanding these immunological differences underscores why blood typing is non-negotiable in modern feline practice.

The consequences of untyped transfusions can be devastating within minutes of administration. Clinical signs include fever, vomiting, tachycardia, collapse, hemoglobinuria, and coagulopathy. The Сабервет test provides a crucial safety net against these preventable complications, establishing it as an essential tool from any responsible pet diagnostics provider.

How the Sabervet Feline Blood Typing Test Works

Сайт Сабервет Feline Blood Typing Rapid Test employs advanced immunochromatographic technology to detect blood group antigens A and B simultaneously from a small whole blood sample. The simple three-step process makes accurate blood typing accessible to any veterinary practice.

Test procedure begins with collecting fresh whole blood or EDTA-anticoagulated venous blood. Using the provided sampling pipe, approximately 10μL of blood is drawn via capillary action. If the hematocrit is below 10%, additional sample may be required. The blood is then added to the buffer tube before application to the test device.

Results are clearly visible within 10 minutes, with distinct line patterns indicating blood type: Type A (C and A lines colored), Type B (C and B lines colored), Type AB (C, A, and B lines all colored), or invalid (no C line). Results read after 15 minutes are not valid, ensuring test integrity.

As a reliable veterinary diagnostics supplier, the manufacturer provides complete kits containing test devices, sampling pipes, buffer tubes, and package inserts. The test devices are stable when stored properly at 4-30°C and protected from light, with clear expiration dating to ensure reliability.

The test's design accommodates fresh whole blood or EDTA-anticoagulated samples, with refrigeration allowing testing within 24 hours if not performed immediately. This flexibility supports various clinical scenarios from scheduled procedures to emergency cases.

Proper Test Implementation and Quality Assurance

Successful implementation of the Сабервет Feline Blood Typing Test requires adherence to specific protocols to ensure accurate results. The test must be performed at room temperature (15-30°C) as extreme temperatures and humidity can influence results. Always check that the foil pouch is intact before opening and perform the test immediately after opening.

As with all diagnostic tests, proper sample handling is crucial. Hemolyzed or contaminated samples may yield erroneous results. Whole blood samples should be refrigerated at 2-8°C if not tested immediately and used within 24 hours. Frozen samples must not be used.

Safety protocols require wearing protective gloves when handling all blood samples, with thorough handwashing afterward. All used test components, samples, and potentially contaminated materials should be decontaminated and disposed of according to national and local regulations, following standard biohazard procedures.
