The BC1-VET is a modification of the BC1 ball coagulometer, globally used in human medicine.
Due to its special features, the BC1-VET is perfectly suitable for coagulation determination of animal blood for professional and quick realization of the common coagulation analysis in a veterinary laboratory such as PT / PTT / FIB and others.
To realize the tests, both whole blood and also plasma samples can be measured.
As with the BC1, the measurement results evaluated are shown on a high resolution, clearly visible display in seconds, % PT, INR or g/L for fibrinogen determination.
Optionally a low-noise thermo printer can be provided for documentation of the measuring results.
As an option, the BC1-VET-MACRO version or the BC1-VET-MICRO version for halving of the test volume are available.
All device versions are optionally available with an automatic 3 volume pipette with 50, 100, and 200 µl pipetting volume.
