Quick Test XM Feline Crossmatch Test,  Alvedia QT-XM-F
 
Quick Test XM Feline
The Feline crossmatch test (major and/or minor) is based on an immuno-chromatographic technology that will detect the presence of immunoglobulins (IgG & IgM) and/or C3 components binding to the red blood cells (RBCs) surface.
Cats have one main blood group system named AB system with 3 types: blood type A which is the most frequent, blood type B and blood type AB. The presence of naturally occurring alloantibodies in type A and in type B cats requires that blood typing must be performed prior to ALL blood transfusions to avoid an acute hemotytic transfusion reaction. It is now well established that cats possess other blood group systems such as Mik antigen or other unknown systems.
According to recent publications, it is now highly recommended to perform a Crossmatch Test (XM) in cats before the first transfusion.
