Does the VetScan require calibration?

The VetScan is self-calibrating. There are two aspects to calibration – 1) instrument calibration and 2) reagent calibration. The VetScan measures the optical absorbance to determine the concentration of the analyte. The instrument calibrates the optics automatically for each measurement. Unlike any other system, the VetScan reagents are factory calibrated and the calibration values are communicated to the analyzer through the bar code on the rotor.
