Vodka has no added sugar in it. It also shouldn't have residual sugars, like wine does. This means you can think of vodka as a pure mixture of 40% ethanol, 60% water. There is a very small trace amount of cogeners and other chemicals in it, from impurities in the distilling.
IDEXX Laboratories is in the process of rolling out a new test that they say âdetects kidney disease in cats and dogs months or years earlier than standard screening technologies.â Is the SDMA (symmetric dimethylarginine) test really the breakthrough that it is advertised to be? First some backgroundâ¦.
The same type of DNA markers, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are used for the cat test as for the dog tests, however the cat SNPs are unique and specific to the cat and will not cross-react with the dog. The Cat Ancestry will not work on the dog, the dog test will not work for the cat. The same type of technology is used for Cat Ancestry as the dog tests, known as MALDI-TOF (Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry).
