HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
Turbovet Pig-MAP is the first method on the market for the analysis of Pig-MAP by turbidimetry. Pig-MAP is a very sensitive biomarker of inflammation and stress in the pig, and a quantitative and objective indicator of animal welfare. With Turbovet Pig-MAP the results are obtained in a few minutes, the assay can be automated using a clinical chemistry analyzer, and a pre-dilution of the sample is not necessary. This reduces significantly the analyst’s working time, and consequently the costs. The test also has a very high precision and reproducibility, making it an ideal tool for production quality control systems or animal welfare certification programs.

TEST PRINCIPLE
The test is based on immunoturbidimetry: Pig-MAP from serum reacts with specific antibodies to form immunoaggregates, originating an increase of turbidity in the reaction media. The increase of turbidity is determined with a photometric measure, and is proportional to the concentration of pig-MAP in the sample. The assay is calibrated according to the European Reference Serum for pig Acute Phase proteins (EU concerted Action QLK5-CT-1999-0153).
