Dog 4MID® Kit (proAKAP4 testing kit)
Product ref. : 4VDX-18K5
The Dog 4MID® Kit (Ref. 4VDX-18K5) allows to quantify proAKAP4 proteins in semen samples as an objective marker of sperm quality and male fertility in dogs (all breeds).
This Dog 4MID® Kit is the 1st functional assay to evaluate sperm quality and male fertility.
The Dog 4MID® Kit will give you a number that is correlated with sperm quality, long-lasting motily and fertility outcomes.
Application : for the in vitro determination of canine proAKAP4 in sperm (all breeds)
Research Use Only Product (RUO) / Not for Diagnosis or Therapeutic Use.
Dog 4MID® Kit Description
The Dog 4MID® Kit (Ref. 4VDX-18K5) is the first assay that validates objectively semen quality by quantifying a protein called proAKAP4 in dog semen.
The dosage of the proAKAP4 biomarker with the Dog 4MID® Kit brings:
- Objective information on semen quality
- Qualification of each breeding male
- Qualification of each ejaculate and/or each straw at post-thaw quality control step
- Pertinent parameter to improve sperm cryopreservation
- Selection of semen with long-lasting motility at post-thaw
- A functional indicator correlated to fertility
Application : for the in vitro determination of dog proAKAP4 in sperm.
For Research Use Only / Not for Diagnosis or Therapeutic Use
