A cProg test, specifically the InSight V-IA canine Progesterone (cProg) Rapid Quantitative Test, is a diagnostic tool used in veterinary medicine to measure the progesterone levels in a dog's blood. It's designed to be used with the InSight V-IA Veterinary Immunoassay Analyzer.
This test offers a quantitative determination of progesterone concentration in canine serum or plasma. This information is crucial for:
- Timing of ovulation: Determining the optimal time for breeding in female dogs.
- Monitoring pregnancy: Assessing the health and progress of a pregnancy.
- Diagnosing reproductive disorders: Identifying potential hormonal imbalances that may be causing infertility or other issues.
The cProg test employs a fluorescence immunoassay technique, which provides a rapid and accurate measurement of progesterone levels. The InSight V-IA Veterinary Immunoassay Analyser reads the test results, providing a quantitative value for progesterone concentration.
In summary, the cProg test is a valuable tool for veterinarians to manage canine reproductive health by accurately measuring progesterone levels.
