Why Low-Cost Pet Blood Testing Devices Matter for Vets

Pet owners expect fast answers when their dogs or cats are sick, but sending samples to outside labs can mean long waits and higher costs. A low-cost pet blood testing device lets clinics perform critical tests in-house, speeding up diagnosis while keeping care affordable for clients. These compact analyzers are designed for primary veterinary care scenarios, where ease of use, small footprint and reliable results matter as much as advanced technology.

For many small and mid-sized vet clinics, the main barriers to adopting in-clinic analyzers are instrument price, maintenance cost and the complexity of multiple devices. A multi-functional, AI-powered veterinary analyzer that works with individual test kits and minimal maintenance can significantly reduce overall ownership cost while boosting diagnostic capability.

EHVT-50: A Low-Cost “All-in-One” Pet Blood Testing Device

The Ozelle EHVT-50 is a multi-functional veterinary analyzer that integrates 7-diff hematology, urine, fecal and immunoassay testing into a single device, creating a compact “AI lab” for pet clinics. It uses advanced cell morphology imaging to provide more than 7-diff hematology analysis and can identify multiple classes of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and abnormal cells such as reticulocytes.

Designed specifically for veterinary use, the EHVT-50 supports species such as canine and feline (with more species extendable), and uses a small sample volume for complete blood count and other tests. With a throughput of around 8 samples per hour, it is suitable for routine in-clinic diagnostics without the workload or cost of large laboratory systems.

How EHVT-50 Reduces Diagnostic Costs in Veterinary Clinics

Several design choices help EHVT-50 operate as a low-cost pet blood testing device over its lifetime. First, it uses individual, dry-type test kits and cartridges, which reduces the need for complex fluidic pipelines and lowers maintenance requirements, helping avoid costly service visits and downtime. Second, the compact footprint and “all-in-one” design mean clinics do not need separate analyzers for hematology, immunoassay, urine and fecal testing, saving on equipment purchases and bench space.

The analyzer also supports auto-calibration and dry-type quality control cards, simplifying daily operation and quality management. This reduces the training burden on staff and enables consistent test accuracy without extensive manual adjustments, helping clinics deliver lab-grade results at a lower operational cost.

AI-Powered Accuracy: 7-Diff Hematology and Beyond for Pets

At the core of the EHVT-50 is Ozelle’s AI cell morphology technology, trained on tens of millions of clinical samples to recognize subtle differences in cell size, shape and structure. The system performs 7-part differential hematology for veterinary applications and can identify abnormal or immature cells that may indicate infection, inflammation, anemia or other conditions in pets.

The AI engine analyzes high-resolution microscopic images and generates detailed parameters including WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, reticulocytes and more, along with flags for abnormal cells. Image-based results allow veterinarians to visually review blood cell morphology and correlate numerical values with observable changes, supporting more precise clinical decisions for dogs and cats.

Multi-Parameter Testing: Hematology, Urine, Feces and Immunoassay

Beyond complete blood count, the EHVT-50 expands diagnostics with urine, fecal and immunoassay testing in the same device. Urine and fecal analysis can detect casts, crystals, microorganisms, parasite eggs, digestive function changes and intestinal protozoa, providing valuable information for kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders and infections in pets.

The immunoassay module supports markers related to inflammation, pancreatitis, kidney disease, hormones, cardiac function, infectious diseases and immune status in animals. This allows veterinarians to run panels for conditions such as pancreatitis, renal dysfunction, viral and bacterial infections using a single analyzer, which simplifies workflow and reduces per-test costs compared with multiple dedicated instruments.

Practical Benefits for Veterinary Clinics and Pet Owners

For veterinary clinics, a compact and low-cost pet blood testing device like the EHVT-50 brings several practical advantages:

• Faster diagnosis: In-house CBC, urine, fecal and immunoassay results help vets make same-visit treatment decisions.
• Lower total cost: Maintenance-free design, dry-type cartridges and all-in-one functionality reduce total ownership and service costs.
• Easy operation: A 10.1-inch touch screen interface, automated sample processing and built-in printer streamline daily use, even for smaller teams.
• Clinical confidence: AI-enhanced cell morphology and multi-parameter panels provide deeper clinical insights from a single small sample.

For pet owners, this means more accessible diagnostics, fewer repeat visits, and transparent testing done directly in the clinic, which can increase trust and compliance with recommended care.
