OBS

Test de diagnostic immunoenzymatique de terrain rapide, d'utilisation et d'interprétation facile, utilisé en médecine humaine et animale.

OBS

Clonatec développe actuellement ce type de test sur bandelette par une technique de compétition. L'extrémité d'une bandelette rigide recouverte par un anticorps monoclonal antiprogestérone est immergée dans le mélange d'une goutte de lait et d'une goutte de conjugué enzyme-progestérone. Après lavage sous l'eau du robinet, la bandelette est blanche si la vache est gestante. La bandelette est colorée si la vache n'est pas gestante : l'éleveur peut alors programmer immédiatement une nouvelle insémination.
