BIODX Dog Breeders solution.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this solution.
Is there a veterinary test for determining the best breeding time in dogs? +
Yes. The BIODX documentation identifies canine progesterone (cProg) and states its clinical application includes predicting optimal breeding time.
What sample is used for canine progesterone testing on the documented analyser? +
The BIODX documentation specifies serum or plasma, with a 75 μL sample volume and a 15-minute testing time for cProg.
Can canine pregnancy be tested using relaxin? +
The BIODX material describes canine relaxin as a marker used for early pregnancy diagnosis in dogs. It states that relaxin can be detected in blood as early as 22–27 days post-breeding.
What sample is used for canine relaxin testing? +
The BIODX documented C-RLN test uses serum or plasma, with a 75 μL sample volume and a 15-minute testing time.
Can a dog breeder use diagnostic testing without a veterinarian? +
Diagnostic results should be interpreted within appropriate veterinary care. BIODX should position these technologies as veterinary diagnostic solutions rather than substitutes for veterinary examination or clinical judgement.
Can the HV-FIA 3000 perform tests other than reproductive tests? +
Yes. The BIODX documentation describes more than 60 test items and lists canine categories including inflammation, cardiac markers, hormones, diabetes, thrombus function, pancreatitis, renal function, infectious diseases, vaccine checks, tick disease and tumour markers.
How quickly can the documented canine reproductive tests be performed? +
The BIODX documentation specifies 15 minutes for both canine progesterone and canine relaxin on the HV-FIA 3000.
Is canine progesterone testing the only test needed for breeding? +
No. Reproductive management should be based on veterinary assessment and the appropriate combination of clinical information and diagnostic investigations.
Does a diagnostic result guarantee pregnancy or breeding success? +
No. A diagnostic result provides information; it does not guarantee pregnancy, litter size, breeding success or a particular outcome.
Can BIODX help a breeder choose diagnostic equipment? +
Yes. The BIODX should allow breeders and veterinary clinics to request product information, compare appropriate solutions and request a quote rather than forcing every customer through a conventional e-commerce checkout.
