Collection: Veterinary Lab Analyzers — Biochemistry, Urine & Blood Gas

Veterinary laboratory equipment for US clinics covers the analyzers, centrifuges, microscopes, and consumables a practice needs to run diagnostics in-house — from 5-part hematology and cartridge blood gas to urinalysis and cytology. Built for practice owners and lab managers comparing verified specifications before requesting trade pricing.

How to choose veterinary laboratory equipment

Four decisions drive every lab purchase. For the full framework, see our veterinary blood analyzer buying guide.

Decision	What to compare	How to call it
Test menu first	Panels you send out most — CBC, chemistry, blood gas, urinalysis	Buy for your top three send-out tests; replacing them pays for the analyzer first
Throughput	Tests per hour against your busiest day	Up to 60 tests/hour covers most general practices; add headroom for surgical screens
Sample volume	Microliters of whole blood per run	≤20 µL matters for cats, kittens, and exotics — smaller draws, easier redraws
Species coverage	Multi-species algorithms in the software	Mixed practices should confirm dog, cat, rabbit, and equine profiles

Which setup fits your practice

Small animal GP. A 3-part or 5-part hematology analyzer, chemistry or cartridge blood gas, a urine analyzer, a centrifuge, and a refractometer cover daily diagnostics — from surgical screens to workups like elevated liver enzymes in dogs or a vomiting cat.

Mobile or mixed practice. Weight and battery decide everything. The I-15vet runs about 50 samples on its 4200 mAh battery, the ATC refractometer needs no power, and the MC-04 micro centrifuge weighs 2 kg.

Emergency and critical care. Prioritize turnaround: cartridge blood gas in about a minute, 5-part hematology at up to 60 tests/hour, 50,000+ records, and HL7/LIS connectivity for hospital systems.

Teaching and research. LCD-display microscopes like the TT-2016 let a group share one field, the VN8 PCR amplifies pathogen panels in about 60 minutes, and the FA2004 balance reads to 0.0001 g.

Frequently asked questions

What veterinary laboratory equipment should a new clinic buy first?

Start with a hematology analyzer, chemistry or cartridge blood gas, a urine analyzer, a centrifuge, and a refractometer; add a microscope once cytology volume justifies it. Buy against your three most frequent send-out tests — those are the lines that repay the investment fastest.

What is the difference between a 3-part and a 5-part hematology analyzer?

A 3-part analyzer sorts white cells into three populations; a 5-part separates five — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils — usually by laser flow cytometry. Choose 5-part when the differential changes decisions for sick or geriatric patients; 3-part covers routine screening at lower reagent cost.

How much sample do veterinary analyzers need per run?

Benchtop hematology analyzers here run on 10–20 µL of whole blood — the VH30 draws 10 µL, the DF56 and VH50 ≤20 µL — while the I-15vet aspirates 140 µL. Sample volume is the spec to watch for feline and exotic patients, where every microliter counts.

Can one hematology analyzer run dog, cat, and other species?

Yes. These analyzers ship with multi-species software: the DF56 lists dog, cat, rabbit, cow, horse, and more; the VH30 supports 18+ species, while the VH50 listing names 18 species. Species-specific algorithms matter because reference ranges and cell behavior differ — confirm your species list before ordering.

How do I get pricing for veterinary laboratory equipment?

Analyzer pricing is quoted per configuration — species list, reagents, and accessories all change the figure — so we don't publish list prices. Send your shortlist through the Request a Quote page below for trade pricing on request, with consumables matched to your daily volume.
