Blood Typing- DMS Laboratories, Inc. introduces the first commercially available in-office blood typing kits. As the practice of veterinary transfusion medicine has undergone tremendous growth in recent years, the importance of identifying blood types has increased. DMS Laboratories offers RapidVet-H kits for both canine DEA 1.1 and feline A, B, and AB.

Dermatophyte Testing - RapidVet-D is for use as part of the differential diagnosis of dermatological conditions in companion animals: dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. It is especially designed to provide a statistically significant indication of the involvement, or absence, of dermatophytes as a causal factor of the underlying condition. Since RapidVet-D employs a proprietary formulation designed for the detection of only those fungi that cause clinical complications in the noted animal species, the product should not be used for other animal species or for humans. Likewise, RapidVet-D is not designed for testing for the presence of viable but relatively dormant dermatophytes superficially present on the fur of asymptomatic animals which, while frequently present, are not a causal factor in any underlying condition.

Major Crossmatch Testing - A simple to use, quick to run, and easy to interpret major crossmatch kit for use in companion animal transfusion medicine is now available from dmslaboratories, inc. A major crossmatch examines patient serum for the possible presence of antibodies to the donor red blood cell antigens.
