Bring gold-standard accuracy into your clinic with TRUFORMA® - like having your reference lab next door, with fast, confident decisions at the point of care.
TRUFORMA® Lab Diagnostics - Right In Your Practice
WHY TRUFORMA®?
Trusted by veterinary teams who value speed, accuracy and in-clinic control.
WHAT TRUFORMA® TESTS FOR:
TRUFORMA® offers a broad menu of assays covering thyroid, adrenal, gastrointestinal, cardiac, reproductive, and metabolic health. Each assay is designed to give veterinary professionals rapid, accurate results in-practice, supporting confident diagnoses and timely treatments for complex conditions.
Thyroid (Complete in-clinic thyroid profiling):
TRUFORMA® brings Total T4, Free T4, and TSH testing directly into your practice, enabling you to create a complete thyroid panel on-site. It’s the only platform to offer an in-clinic Free T4 assay, as well as the first feline-optimised TSH assay, capable of detecting the low TSH levels that indicate feline hyperthyroidism. Together, these assays allow for earlier detection, more accurate diagnoses, and better monitoring of thyroid disease in both dogs and cats.
Adrenal (Diagnose and monitor adrenal dysfunction):
With assays for cortisol (canine & equine) and endogenous ACTH (canine & equine), TRUFORMA® gives you the tools to accurately assess adrenal health. The in-clinic eACTH assay is the only one of its kind, helping differentiate whether canine Cushing’s disease is pituitary- or adrenal-dependent before the patient leaves the exam room. These assays are also invaluable for diagnosing Addison’s disease and for ongoing monitoring of therapy, ensuring medication doses are optimised for each patient.
GI Health (Rapid assessment of gastrointestinal function):
The TRUFORMA® panel for cPL, cobalamin, and folate empowers your practice to evaluate exocrine pancreatic function and intestinal health quickly and reliably. This means you can identify conditions like pancreatitis, cobalamin deficiency, or malabsorption syndromes without sending samples away. Faster in-house results allow you to stabilise patients sooner and guide nutritional or medical interventions with confidence.
Cardiac (Support early detection of heart disease):
The NT-proBNP assay is available in-practice through TRUFORMA®, giving vets a valuable biomarker to support the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac disease in dogs. Having this assay available immediately helps clinicians distinguish between primary cardiac conditions and respiratory disease, enabling faster and more targeted treatment for patients presenting with complex clinical signs.
Reproductive (Reliable support for breeding and timing):
With the canine progesterone assay, TRUFORMA® enables vets and breeders to make informed decisions around ovulation timing, breeding management, and pregnancy monitoring. Running this test in-house allows you to provide guidance without delay, improving client satisfaction and ensuring optimal reproductive outcomes.
Metabolic (Screen and monitor insulin dysregulation):
TRUFORMA® includes two equine insulin assays — a default range and an auto-dilute mode for higher concentrations — allowing accurate diagnosis and monitoring of insulin dysregulation. This is especially valuable for equine metabolic syndrome and laminitis risk assessment. With precise results in under 20 minutes, practices can advise owners on management and treatment options straightaway.
PER-TEST PRICING AT A GLANCE:
TRUFORMA® cartridges are designed to deliver rapid, reference-lab quality results in your own clinic. Each cartridge provides a single test, giving you clarity on the exact cost per result with no hidden fees or outsourcing charges.
EXPLORE TRUFORMA® ASSAYS:
TRUFORMA assays have been evaluated and compared with those of the predicate industry gold standard, ensuring that they adhere to reference lab performance levels.

GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY
Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW)
Put the same technology used in aerospace and telecommunications to work in your practice! Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) is an innovative, non-optical, fluorescence-free technology that delivers accurate, reliable results when assessing complex conditions.
1. Signal in – An RF signal is delivered to the BAW sensor
2. Frequency shift – The sensor resonance frequency changes as mass is added to the sensor surface
3. Signal out – The modified RF signal is used to calculate a frequency shift due to mass binding
EASY TO USE
Simple installation and a user-friendly interace gets tests running in no time.

How is it different from diagnostics in reference labs?
How is it different from diagnostics in reference labs?
Currently, reference labs use three types of immunoassays, namely fluorescent, chemiluminescent, and radioimmunoassay, to detect analytes of interest. These tests require large, expensive equipment that can analyze the optical and radioactive markers. TRUFORMA® uses differentiated Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) sensor technology to provide a non-optical and fluorescence-free detection system for use in the clinic. The biosensor is located on the small, disposable cartridges that are pre-loaded with reagents. The tabletop instrument is able to easily detect a frequency change in the sensor when the analyte of interest is present.
What are the initial assays?
What are the initial assays?
Total Thyroxine (tT4) for cats and dogs; Free Thyroxine (fT4) for dogs; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) for cats and dogs; Cortisol for dogs; Endogenous Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (eACTH) for dogs.
What is the sample size?
What is the sample size?
Approximately 110-150 µL of sample is needed to run a test. Please use the bulb pipette included and fill to the top of the pipette to dispense the correct sample amount into the sample port on the TRUFORMA® cartridge. The pipette included is designed to capture any overfill, ensuring that the sample dispensed will not exceed 150 µL. Addtionally, please note that the cartridge does not test whole blood samples at this time. Please use serum only for fT4, tT4, TSH and Cortisol; plasma only for eACTH.
Do I need two samples for cortisol?
Do I need two samples for cortisol?
No. TRUFORMA® provides a baseline cortisol result from a single test in approximately 16–20 minutes (assay dependent), avoiding paired draws and reference-lab delays.
How do TRUFORMA® cPL results differ from SNAP-style tests?
How do TRUFORMA® cPL results differ from SNAP-style tests?
SNAP-style tests provide a qualitative screen (positive/negative) that may require a follow-up test to obtain a numeric value. TRUFORMA® cPL delivers a quantitative result in minutes, supporting quicker decision-making without extra steps.
What is the test cartridge shelf life?
What is the test cartridge shelf life?
TRUFORMA® cartridges are manufactured with a shelf life of approximately 8 to 13 months, depending on the specific assay. Customers typically receive cartridges with 6 to 11 months of remaining dating at the time of delivery.
To ensure optimal performance through the expiration date, cartridges should be stored refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F) and used before the expiry printed on the package label.
How many times can a cartridge “cycle” (sit out – put back in refrigerator – sit out, etc.)
How many times can a cartridge “cycle” (sit out – put back in refrigerator – sit out, etc.)
It is recommended to store cartridges in the refrigerator until the test is ready to run. It is not necessary to let the cartridge warm to room temperature prior to running the test. However, a cartridge can be cycled up to 6 times (not to exceed 24hrs of combined room temperature exposure) in an unopened pouch without affecting the results.
How many result records can TRUFORMA® hold?
How many result records can TRUFORMA® hold?
