Skyla VB1+

Multiparameter veterinary analyzer using dry chemistry technology

SKYLA VB1+ is a multiparameter veterinary analyzer that uses dry chemistry to deliver reliable results for endocrinology, electrolyte, biochemistry and urine parameters.

It's a compact, fast and reliable system for blood biochemistry testing with high accuracy: only a small blood sample is needed to run up to 15 tests on the veterinary patient sample. It's easy to use — no specialized training required — and delivers results in about 15 minutes, with precision and accuracy equivalent to a clinical laboratory analyzer.

Advantages

All-in-one analyzer

Endocrinology, electrolytes, biochemistry and urine in a single device — saving you money, time and space.

Micro-sample

Just 220 µl of whole blood, serum or plasma per profile. Whole blood samples require no preparation.

Multiparameter testing

Up to 15 parameters simultaneously and 17 results. Single parameters, dual profiles and full profiles.

Friendly interface

Easy to use via the 5-inch color touchscreen.

Built-in centrifuge

Whole blood samples can be measured without pre-treatment, thanks to the device's built-in centrifuge.

Portable — only 5.5 kg

Compact, space-saving design; the device weighs just 5.5 kg and is easy to carry.

Smart experience — a simple 3-step workflow

1 Inject 220 μl of sample
2 Press "START" and insert the test disc
3 Read the results

• Integrated, automatic quality control with every test, species-specific predefined reference ranges, with the option to configure custom ranges.
• Integrated, customizable A4 test report.
• Fully automated process: barcode reading, centrifuging and diluting, internal panel/cartridge quality control, reaction and multiple detections, analysis, then displaying and printing the results.
