®
The qLabs Vet automatically detects the insertion of a qLabs
and heats the strip to a preset operating temperature. After a drop of
blood is applied to the strip, the sample channel automatically carries
the blood sample into the reaction zone through capillary action, where
the blood mixes with pre-printed reagent and starts coagulation process.
As the blood coagulates, conductivity across the test strip changes. The
system measures this electrical change and calculates the development of
a clot. The values are then displayed.
