Leveraging over 80 years of expertise and experience in the medical and healthcare businesses, Fujifilm has transformed its healthcare innovations into intelligent, technology-rich solutions for diagnosing diseases and illnesses in animals. These veterinary medical solutions aim to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and convenience of medical diagnoses, addressing the challenges posed by limited communication and the need for specialized expertise in diagnosing animal symptoms.

Mr. So Maruo, Managing Director of FUJIFILM (Thailand) Ltd., stated, "Fujifilm acknowledges the challenges and limitations to caring for sick animals and these challenges vary across animal types. One significant challenge is that animals cannot communicate their symptoms to veterinarians. Consequently, medical solutions play a crucial role in enabling early diagnoses and providing timely treatment, facilitating the animals' recovery. Leveraging the technology from our total healthcare solutions for humans, Fujifilm extends these advancements to veterinary healthcare. This expanded lineup elevates veterinary care, reducing stress and suffering while improving animals' quality of life. Furthermore, it eases the burden on veterinary personnel, aligning with our mission of creating better health for all living beings."
Fujifilm offers an extensive lineup of animal healthcare solutions equipped with smart technology, facilitating swift and precise diagnosis of animal health issues. The laboratory diagnostic solutions consist of clinical chemistry solutions, immunology, and a total X-ray solution, empowering veterinarians to assess the overall well-being of animals. The lineup can provide comprehensive reports on animal conditions, akin to health checkups.
One of Fujifilm’s noteworthy innovations for the veterinary industry is the Fujifilm DRI-CHEM IMMUNO AU10V. This real-time automatic analyzer is specifically designed for diagnosing and monitoring hormones and other essential chemical levels in dogs and cats, like Progesterone and Serum Amyloid A, using Surface Plasmon-enhanced Fluorescence (SPF) technology. "Our Fluorometry Immunodiagnostic Analyzer has a user-friendly 2-step process that utilizes a micro dose of either serum or plasma for testing. The analyzer delivers swift and accurate results within 10 minutes. Thanks to its compact size, the cutting-edge IMMUNO AU10V is ideal for various veterinary applications, especially for Point-of-Care testing," stated Mr. So Maruo.
Another groundbreaking innovation for animal health testing is the DRI-CHEM NX700V. This high throughput automatic clinical chemistry analyzer features the exceptional Dri-Chem System, simultaneously accommodating up to five samples. Without the need of water, it provides accurate test results, even for small animals. Each test requires only 10 microliters of sample. The DRI-CHEM NX700V offers the capability to measure C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels in dogs, serving as an indicator for inflammation screening. Additionally, it can measure lipase activity, facilitating efficient screening for pancreatitis in dogs.
