It serves as an indicator of the ongoing process of blood clotting and subsequent recovery in the body following tissue or vascular damage.This marker can be utilized as a valuable diagnostic tool for various diseases such as tumors, sepsis, pancreatitis, and immune-mediated diseases.Particularly, D-dimer testing, when used alongside other coagulation tests such as platelet count, PT (Prothrombin Time), and APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), can significantly aid in the diagnosis of thrombosis and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). A representative from Bionote stated, "Compared to the existing 10-test kits, the 5-test format is advantageous for small clinics or environments with fewer emergency cases, making it more accessible. We anticipate that this will facilitate broader use of D-dimer products in veterinary hospitals, expanding the scope of coagulation testing."

The outstanding performance of Vcheck M Canine Vector 8 panel (BIONOTE) and the necessity of testing for eight pathogens simultaneously have been published in two international journals, "Journal of Veterinary Research" and the "Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences" (Science Citation Index Expanded) Paper: J Vet Res 68, 2024 & Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences Vol. 27, No. 2 (2024), 165– See the attached documents for the summary and click here for the full paper of J Vet Res 68, 2024 and Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences Vol. 27, No. 2 (2024), 165– (open access). Two studies focused on monitoring vector-borne diseases in anemic dogs arriving in or returning to Poland from endemic regions, comparing results obtained using Vcheck M Canine Vector 8 (CV8) with those from real-time or conventional PCR. According to the first study, molecular tests identified vector-borne pathogens in 79 dogs. All positive results from Vcheck M CV8 were validated by standard real-time PCR with no false positives detected. Therefore, the Vcheck M CV8 provides comparable results to real-time PCR. Its capability for onsite testing is crucial for promptly detecting infections and initiating timely therapy, thereby reducing the time needed for laboratory confirmation. The second study aimed to detect Hepatozoon canis from dogs suspected of tick-borne diseases, shedding light on prevalence and clinical implications in Poland. Despite sporadic H. canis cases and infrequent R. sanguineus ticks, the study highlighted the necessity of considering H. canis in diagnosing vector-borne diseases, especially in anemic dogs in Poland. The study underscored the importance of comprehensive screening, such as with Vcheck M CV8, in identifying diverse threats, particularly amid increased travel and climate change which may introduce novel pathogens. The Vcheck M CV8 Panel is point-of-care(POC) molecular diagnostic cartridge designed for simultaneous detection of Canine Vector-borne Disease 8 pathogens: Leishmania spp., Babesia spp., Mycoplasma haemocanis, Hepatozoon spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Rickettsia rickettsii, and Bartonella spp. in canine whole blood.

Vcheck M10 is an automatic analyzer that can perform both nucleic acid extraction and PCR, which previously needed to be performed separately using two different machines. The test procedure is simple enough for any veterinarian to perform on-site at the animal hospitals without separate prior training.PCR tests, normally performed by a laboratory, take about 1 to 3 days. It can be performed quickly and accurately on-site for around an hour through the cartridges, and M10 analyzer which can also be expanded to 8 channels. Customers can optimize use according to size, from labs to small and large hospitals. A BIONOTE Spokesperson commented, “The global veterinary molecular diagnostic market size is currently approximately 3 billion dollars and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 10% in the future. PCR testing using POCT molecular diagnostic equipment for animals is also expected to further expand.” “By obtaining this certificate of free sales, we will accelerate our effort to expand overseas markets,” he said. Meanwhile, BIONOTE recently launched the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)/ Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) test cartridge and continuously exported it overseas in earnest. BIONOTE is currently developing various test panels such as respiratory, anemia-causing pathogens and panels for livestock animals.
