CADET™ BRAF container (urine must be put in BRAF container within 15 minutes of collection and can be collected over multiple days).
Specimen
40 mL urine collected in CADET™ BRAF urine container.
Test Description
CADET™ BRAF includes CADET™ BRAF-PLUS when reflexed based on CADET™ BRAF result.
A non-invasive, highly sensitive assay that evaluates free-catch urine samples from dogs for the presence of cells harboring the b-raf mutation or specific copy number variations associated with Transitional Cell Carcinoma/Urothelial Carcinoma/Prostatic carcinoma. The assay identifies 95% of TCC/UC cases. It can be used to diagnose TCC/UC and monitor dogs undergoing treatment for remission and relapse.
Interferences: Cystocentesis drawn urine and contrast solutions (if the urine is collected while the contrast is clearing from the dog’s system) may cause interference. Radiation and Chemotherapy are not interferences for the CADET™ BRAF/BRAF Plus test assay; however, they may affect the tumor itself which may influence results.
Note: Urine sample should be free catch. Do not freeze.
