Alvedia feline blood typing products for veterinary clinics, designed to determine feline A and B blood groups. Available in QuickTest and LabTest formats to suit individual testing and higher-volume workflows.
Clinical context
Determining a cat's blood type is an important part of veterinary transfusion medicine. Feline blood typing helps veterinary teams identify the blood group of donors and recipients and supports informed transfusion planning.
Cats have a naturally occurring alloantibody system. Cats with blood type B have strong naturally occurring anti-A antibodies, and cats with blood type A may have weak anti-B antibodies. Blood typing feline donors and recipients supports informed transfusion planning.
Blood typing and crossmatching provide different information and may both form part of transfusion compatibility assessment.

Technology
QuickTest and LabTest use the same underlying technology. LabTest is the bulk-packaging version of the same test.
The Alvedia system is based on the migration of red blood cells on a membrane. Monoclonal antibodies specific to feline blood group antigens are incorporated on the membrane. The resulting test pattern allows feline A and B blood groups to be identified.
Result interpretation
Most samples produce clear, unambiguous results. Some clinical situations may require additional consideration when interpreting feline blood typing results.
A positive result for the A antigen is indicated on the membrane. The control line (C) must be positive, confirming the test has run successfully.
A positive result for the B antigen is indicated on the membrane. The control line (C) must be positive, confirming the test has run successfully.
