Canine Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) ELISA Kit

For veterinary hematology research and clinical investigation of canine bleeding disorders, the Assay Genie Canine Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) ELISA Kit offers quantitative measurement of vWF antigen in canine plasma. Von Willebrand Factor is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein critical for platelet adhesion and aggregation under high shear conditions, making it a key biomarker for diagnosing von Willebrand disease, the most common inherited bleeding disorder in dogs.

This canine-specific kit supports screening and monitoring across multiple research applications, including evaluation of hereditary bleeding tendencies in predisposed breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Standard Poodles, and Shetland Sheepdogs. Plasma vWF antigen levels help distinguish Type 1 partial quantitative deficiency, Type 2 qualitative defects, and severe Type 3 deficiency, as well as identifying acquired von Willebrand syndrome associated with hypothyroidism, cardiac disease, or other underlying conditions.

Supplied in a 96 assays format, the kit accommodates medium-throughput screening in veterinary diagnostic laboratories, breeding programs, and hemostasis research. Plasma samples are prepared using standard citrate or EDTA anticoagulation, and the assay workflow concludes with microplate reader quantification at an appropriate wavelength. The species-specific reactivity ensures accurate results without interference from non-canine samples that may be processed in the same laboratory environment.
