Scientific Overview
The Avian & Reptile Panel (12+4) rotor is an advanced in vitro diagnostic aid for veterinary medicine tailored for exotic, avian, and reptile clinical management. Designed for seamless integration with Pointcare V1, Pointcare V3, and Celercare V5 clinical chemistry analyzers, this quantitative assay utilizes microfluidic technology to simultaneously determine 16 hemato-biochemical parameters from a micro-volume sample. The panel provides indispensable diagnostic support for hepatobiliary diseases, urinary tract disorders, glucose and lipid metabolic derangements, pancreatic pathology, and cardiovascular disorders. Use is strictly reserved for Veterinary Surgeons, Veterinary Clinics, Hospitals, and Specialized Analytical Laboratories.
Operating Protocol
- Sample Preparation: Collect approximately 100 µL of heparinized whole blood (using exclusively lithium heparin as anticoagulant), plasma, or serum. Whole blood samples that are not analyzed immediately must be protected from direct light exposure to prevent total bilirubin degradation, which could induce analytical variance. Gently invert the heparinized tube several times prior to testing to homogenize the biological specimen. Perform the assay within 60 minutes of collection.
- Rotor Loading: If using Type A format, pre-dispense 430 µL of diluent (sterile water for injection) into the designated diluent port. If using Type B format, simply peel off the protective aluminum foil sealing the integrated diluent container. Transfer 100 µL of biological sample directly into the single-use MNCHIP rotor. Initiate the test session within 10 minutes of specimen loading to avoid kinetic alterations.
- Automated Processing: Insert the disc into the Celercare V or Pointcare V analyzer. The system fully automates centrifugation, microfluidic capillary movement, and spectrophotometric absorbance measurement, calculating and printing precise analyte concentrations within 12 minutes.
Performance Characteristics Table
| Test Principle | Spectrophotometry (endpoint and enzymatic kinetic methods differentiated by wavelength) |
| Calibration | Factory pre-calibrated and traceable to Randox standard serum; lot-specific calibration parameters are embedded within the two-dimensional barcode (QR/Barcode) printed on the sealed pouch and automatically captured upon scanning. |
| Quality Control (IQC) | Intelligent Real-time Quality Control continuous monitoring system integrated into the analyzer that suppresses numerical results if hemolysis, lipemia, or icterus interference exceeds 10%, outputting “HEM”, “LIP”, or “ICT” error codes. Each rotor contains a lyophilized blank reagent bead for systematic error detection. |
| Accuracy & Bias (B%) | TP ≤ 6.0% | ALB ≤ 6.0% | AST ≤ 15.0% | CK ≤ 10.0% | GLU ≤ 20.0% | UA ≤ 10.0% (or absolute deviation ≤ 50 µmol/L) | Ca ≤ 5.0% | P ≤ 10.0% | K+ ≤ 15.0% | Na+ ≤ 15.0% | Cl- ≤ 15.0% | TBA ≤ 15.0% |
| Intra-lot Precision (CV%) | ALB: 2.0% | UA: 4.0% | TP, CK, GLU, Ca, P, K+, Na+, Cl-, TBA: 5.0% | AST: 8.0% |
| Inter-lot Precision (Relative Range) | ALB ≤ 5.0% | UA ≤ 6.0% | All other analytes ≤ 10.0% |
| Storage & Stability | Store intact rotors in sealed protective pouches at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Do not expose rotors to direct sunlight or temperatures above 32 °C (90 °F). Do not use rotors from pouches showing visible tears or damage. |
| Measured Parameters (12) | ALB (Albumin – Range: 10~60 g/L) AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase – Range: 5~1600 U/L) Ca (Calcium – Range: 0.5~4 mmol/L) CK (Creatine Kinase – Range: 5~3000 U/L) Cl- (Chloride – Range: 60~140 mmol/L) GLU (Glucose – Range: 1~35 mmol/L) K+ (Potassium – Range: 1~8 mmol/L) Na+ (Sodium – Range: 90~170 mmol/L) P (Phosphorus – Range: 0.2~7 mmol/L) TBA (Total Bile Acids – Range: 0~150 µmol/L) TP (Total Protein – Range: 20~100 g/L) UA (Uric Acid – Range: 15~900 µmol/L) |

The Technical Opinion: Dedicated analytical determinations such as Uric Acid (UA) and Total Bile Acids (TBA) establish this profile as an excellent standard for metabolic, renal, and hepatic evaluation in avian and reptile patients, overcoming the diagnostic limitations of mammalian chemistry panels. MNCHIP technology ensures reagent component stability and minimizes manual clinical processing via pre-metered lyophilized reagent beads, yielding rigorous and reproducible quantitative insights rapidly. Methodological Note: The analyzer utilizes a coupled PK/LDH assay for potassium determination; therefore, in severe muscle trauma cases with markedly elevated CK values, potassium levels should be interpreted alongside clinical findings or confirmed using an alternative methodology.
