Feline pancreas-specific lipase Rapid Quantitative Test Kit |
|
Catalog number | RC-CF40 |
Summary | The fPL Rapid Quantitative Test kit is an in vitro diagnostic test kit for the in-clinic, quantitative measurement of feline pancreas-specific lipase concentration in feline serum and plasma. |
Principle | fluorescence immunochromatographic |
Species | Feline |
Sample | Serum, EDTA plasma μl |
Measurement | Quantitative |
Range | 1-50 ng/ml |
Testing Time | 15 minutes |
Storage Condition | 1 - 30º C |
Quantity | 1 box (kit) = 10 devices (Individual packing) |
Expiration | 24 months after manufacturing |
Specific Clinical Application | The fPL test kit is a fluorescent immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of feline pancreas-specific lipase concentration. It uses specific anti-fPL antibodies that bind to fPL, resulting in an accurate concentration of feline pancreas-specific lipase in the feline serum and plasma. |
Clinical Application
Nonspecific clinical signs of pancreatitis: poor or absent appetite, lethargy, weight loss, dehydration, and diarrhea
Feline pancreas-specific lipase test correlates very well with pancreatic inflammation
The best overall sensitivity and specificity compared to other serum markers
To diagnose and rule out feline pancreatitis
Time-course monitoring of pancreatitis in cats during recovery
To assess the secondary damage to pancreas in case of other digestive disease such as cholecystitis or enteritis, etc

Prevention and Treatment
Puppies which recover from a virus infection are immune from it. However, it is very rare for the puppies to survive after being infected with the virus. Therefore, vaccination is the safest way.
Puppies born of dogs immune against canine distemper have immunity from it, too. The immunity can be obtained from milks of mother dogs during several days after birth, but it is different depending on the amount of antibodies that the mother dogs have. After that, the immunity of puppies decreases rapidly. For the appropriate time for vaccination, you should seek consultation with veterinarians.

Positive titer |
≥1:16 |
SN 1:16, Limited protection against field virus. |
Negative titer |
<1:16 |
It suggests an adequate vaccine response. |
