Snap* Foal IgG Test is your first line of defense against the potentially deadly consequences of low IgG levels.

SNAP Foal IgG test gives fast, accurate results in just minutes—enabling you to detect low levels of IgG and begin life-saving treatment immediately.

Quick and Accurate Detection of Neonate IgG Levels is Critical.

• Low levels of IgG can lead to bacterial infections, arthritis, pneumonia and enteritis.
• Up to 25% of foals may have low levels of IgG.1
• Foals have only 24 hours after birth to absorb immunoglobulins from the colostrum.
• Delayed test results necessitate costly intravenous delivery of immunoglobulins.
• If left untreated, defenseless foals may die.

The SNAP* Foal IgG Test is an enzyme immunoassay for semi-quantitative detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in equine serum, plasma or whole blood. Diluted whole blood, serum or plasma and conjugate reagent are added to the SNAP* device. The device is then activated, releasing reagents stored within the device. Color development on the sample spot of the device is proportional to IgG concentration in the test sample. Calibrator spots on the device develop color corresponding to sample IgG levels of 400 mg/dL and 800 mg/dL. Comparison of the intensities of color development on the sample spot and the calibrator spots allows an assessment of IgG level in the test sample. Color development on the calibrator spots indicates that the assay reagents are active.

This test requires a blood sample which must be obtained by a professional
