Technical Specifications

How the VetScan VS2 Works

Step 1: Sample Collection

A small blood, serum, or plasma sample is collected from the animal.

Step 2: Rotor Preparation

The sample is placed into a pre-calibrated Abaxis chemistry rotor.

Step 3: Analysis

The rotor is inserted into the VS2 analyser where it is spun and analysed using integrated optical and chemical sensors.

Step 4: Results Generation

Within minutes, accurate diagnostic data is displayed and printed for immediate clinical use.
