It is purpose-built for dairy and beef operations that need to identify subclinical hypocalcemia in fresh cows without waiting on a laboratory turnaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLow blood calcium around calving is one of the most costly transition-cow problems in dairy: it depresses feed intake and immune function and predisposes cows to retained placenta, ketosis, displaced abomasum and metritis. Most affected animals show no visible signs, so the condition goes undetected unless blood calcium is actually measured. The Ca-11C makes that measurement practical to do on-farm, in the barn, on the day it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drop of whole blood is applied to the flat ion-selective sensor and the ionized calcium concentration is displayed in mmol\/L. There is no centrifuge, no reagent preparation, and no sample shipping. The meter is calibrated with two supplied standards bracketing the clinically relevant range, and the sensor is cleaned between animals with the included cleaning solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLAQUAtwin Ca-11C meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × S051 calcium sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × CR2032 batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Y052L standard solution, 1.25 mmol\/L, 25 mL bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Y052H standard solution, 2.50 mmol\/L, 25 mL bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 × #251 cleaning solution, 250 mL bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash bottle for cleaning solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction and quick reference manuals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart number 3200772940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScreening fresh cows for subclinical hypocalcemia during the transition period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluating whether a dry-cow or DCAD ration is delivering adequate calcium status\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeciding which animals genuinely need oral calcium supplementation, rather than treating the whole pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirming clinical milk fever and monitoring response to treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVeterinary practice use during herd health visits and fresh-cow checks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch and extension trials on calcium metabolism in cattle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsumables\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S051 replacement sensor, Y053 standard solution kit, individual Y052L and Y052H standards and #251 cleaning solution are all stocked as separate items — see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/envirotechonline.com\/collections\/horiba-parts-accessories\"\u003eHoriba Parts \u0026amp; Accessories\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
