The Tashikin Canine cNT-proBNP Test Kit provides a crucial tool for assessing canine cardiac health. N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) is a biomarker released by cardiomyocytes in response to ventricular stretch and wall stress, making it an invaluable indicator for detecting and monitoring heart conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in dogs. This quantitative fluorescence immunoassay offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing veterinarians to identify cardiac disease early, differentiate cardiac from respiratory causes of dyspnea, and monitor treatment efficacy, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Early Cardiac Screening
Identify at-risk dogs, especially those with breed predispositions or subtle clinical signs, before advanced disease develops.
Differentiate Respiratory vs. Cardiac
Aid in distinguishing between cardiac and non-cardiac causes of respiratory distress, guiding appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Monitor Disease Progression & Treatment
Track cNT-proBNP levels over time to assess disease severity, monitor response to therapy, and adjust treatment protocols as needed.

1. Prepare Sample
Collect the appropriate canine sample (serum or plasma) according to standard veterinary procedures.
2. Add to Cassette
Using a pipette, add the specified volume of the prepared sample to the sample well of the test device.
3. Add Buffer
Add the specified number of drops of assay buffer into the well. For FIA, insert the cassette into the Tashikin Quantitative Immunoassay Analyzer immediately.
4. Read Result
The analyzer will automatically process the test and display the quantitative cNT-proBNP result within the specified assay time.
