Vcheck fPL 2.0
Measuring enzymes specifically secreted by the pancreas assists in the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Up to 75% of cats have acute or chronic pancreatitis. The Vcheck fPL 2.0 is an in vitro diagnostic test kit for the quantitative measurement of feline pancreas-specific lipase concentration in feline serum, plasma and whole blood.
