Canine Relaxin Test

Introduction

Relaxin is a specific hormone generated mainly by the placenta. It is usually used as an indicator of pregnancy status in female dogs. In pregnant dogs, relaxin can be detected from 15 days after the nidation of fertilized egg in the uterus wall. The Canine relaxin test is a Rapid test to detect relaxin in bitches that may be pregnant. The suggested detection period is 22-30 days after mating. Too early detection may lead to a negative result when relaxin in serum is too low. It is suggested to repeat the test after 1 week if a negative result was observed. Specimen: Serum, or plasma. Detection Limit: 3.8ng/mL.

- Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.

- Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops into the sample hole "S" of the test device.

- Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.
