Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Reichert VET 360 is a veterinary refractometer designed for accurate measurement of urine specific gravity and protein concentration in various animal fluids. It features Automatic Temperature Compensation, ensuring precise readings at any ambient temperature by correcting measurements to a standard reference temperature of 68°F (20°C).

Specifications
The Rhino VET 360 is a rugged, water-resistant, dustproof, and shock-resistant hand-held refractometer. It requires no batteries, making it reliable for both indoor and outdoor use. The device is IP67 rated, ensuring its internal optics remain uncontaminated. It is drop-tested from 3 feet and features improved optics for easy reading. The refractometer includes scales for both small and large animals, with accuracy levels of ±0.001 for urine specific gravity and ±0.2 g/100mL for serum protein. The range for urine specific gravity is 1.000-1.060, and for serum protein, it is 2.0 - 14.0 g/100mL.

Applications
Equine Dehydration: The VET 360 is used to monitor dehydration in performance and show horses, which is critical due to the demanding conditions they face. Traditional methods like the "Skin Pinch" are unreliable, making the VET 360 a valuable tool for accurate and repeatable results.
Diagnosing Peritonitis: The refractometer aids in diagnosing colic severity in horses by evaluating peritoneal fluid. It measures protein levels, which are indicative of inflammatory conditions and can guide the need for surgical intervention.

Conclusion
The Reichert VET 360 refractometer is an essential diagnostic tool for veterinarians, providing quick and accurate measurements crucial for animal health management. Its robust design and precise functionality make it suitable for various veterinary applications.

Rhino VET 360 Refractometer quickly and accurately determines urine specific gravity and protein concentration in plasma, serum and peritoneal fluid. Equine Dehydration and the VET 360 Refractometer The requirements placed on Performance and Show horses can be extremely demanding. Factors such as distance, speed, terrain and climate, as well as the horse’s own physiologic responses to exercise can all affect the level of water lost during an event. The VET 360 Scale is designed for use with animals of all sizes. In endurance events, water losses tend to occur early in the ride and often persist...
