HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
Turbovet pig CRP is the first method on the market for the analysis of CRP in pigs by turbidimetry. The combination of this biomarker and pig-MAP has a high sensitivity in the detection of infectious or inflammatory processes in the farm, even subclinical. With the Turbovet method the assay is carried out automatically, without prior manipulation of the sample, and with a very high precision and reproducibility, making it an ideal tool for production quality control systems or animal welfare certification programs. Being a method specific for pigs provides you reliability in your measures, and is also an ideal tool to quantify this biomarker in translational studies using the pig as a model.

TEST PRINCIPLE
Particle-enhanced turbidimetric method: in the reaction media CRP from serum reacts with specific antibodies fixed to latex particles, forming aggregates that originate and increase of turbidity. The increase of turbidity is determined with a photometric measure, and is proportional to the concentration of CRP in the sample. The assay uses a calibrator specific for swine, and is standardized with an internal reference material, as no international standard for pig CRP exists.
