Meet Gentian’s Canine CRP assay at ADLM 2026
Gentian Diagnostics will also this year be present at ADLM in Anaheim end of July 2026 to promote our automated canine CRP immunoassay. The assay can be applied to a wide range of clinical chemistry analyzers, offering high inter-instrument accuracy for serum and plasma samples.
Visit us at booth #3644
Canine CRP assay continuously available since 2013
The Gentian Canine CRP Immunoassay is an open channel turbidimetric assay for quantitative determination of canine CRP in dog plasma and serum on clinical chemistry instruments already present in the lab. The assay has been developed by utilizing canine-specific antibodies from avian origin which minimizes batch variation and interference with mammalian factors.
The open channel assay can be applied on a wide range of automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
The Gentian Canine CRP Immunoassay: Easy to implement in routine lab workflows
Gentian’s Canine CRP Immunoassay is designed to make this important biomarker accessible and reliable for veterinary labs:
- Produced with canine-specific antibodies for consistent accuracy
- Wide measuring range up to 300 mg/L, supporting use in both acute and chronic cases
- Validated across a broad range of clinical chemistry analyzers, enabling flexible integration
- Short lead time - shipped from the US
Instrument-independent, cost-efficient,
and easy to integrate in biochemistry panels
Inflammation in dogs - early and rapid detection with CRP
Early detection and monitoring of disease development and treatment efficacy
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker in canine serum and plasma, important in diagnosis of infections and inflammatory conditions such as gastrointestinal diseases, surgical trauma, autoimmune diseases and neoplasia1. As a major acute phase protein, CRP levels can quickly rise to more than 100 times its original concentration, with significant changes detectable after just 4-6 h2,3. Due to its short half-life, CRP can also be analyzed to monitor disease development and treatment efficacy4. Early detection of canine CRP allows for precise diagnosis and quick individualized patient decisions, enabling reduced care time and improved patient outcomes.
Why WBC alone isn’t enough: The role of canine CRP in modern labs
White blood cell count (WBC) has traditionally been used for inflammatory assessments, but has well-recognized limitations, including slower response to inflammatory stimuli, reduced sensitivity in early-stage disease, influence from non-inflammatory factors, and a slow decline during treatment when inflammatory stimuli is removed.
In contrast, cCRP responds rapidly and proportionally to inflammation, which is an aid in both detecting an monitoring inflammation, and it serves as a good marker in to identify even mild cases of inflammation, where WBC is too slow.
