VetChroma 3 in the USA: Meet Boditech's Next-Generation Canine Progesterone Analyzer
By Travis Hayes | K9Reproduction | November 2026
For dog breeders and canine reproduction professionals, having access to reliable progesterone testing equipment can make a significant difference in how breeding programs are managed. Whether you're monitoring a single female or performing multiple progesterone tests daily, choosing the right analyzer is an important investment.
At K9Reproduction.com, we are proud to serve as the exclusive U.S. distributor for Boditech Med's VetChroma line of veterinary diagnostic analyzers.
Our relationship with Boditech allows us to bring professional canine progesterone testing equipment to breeders, reproduction facilities, and veterinary professionals throughout the United States.
With the introduction of the new VetChroma 3 Canine Progesterone Analyzer, the VetChroma platform has entered a new generation of in-house reproductive testing technology.
But what makes the VetChroma 3 different, and why should breeders consider purchasing through K9Reproduction?
Let's take a closer look.
Who Makes the VetChroma 3, and Where Can You Buy It in the USA?
The VetChroma 3 is manufactured by Boditech Med Inc., a South Korean medical diagnostic technology company specializing in fluorescence immunoassay testing systems.
K9Reproduction is the exclusive U.S. distributor for the Boditech VetChroma veterinary analyzer line, supplying the equipment, compatible testing supplies, training resources, and customer support to buyers nationwide.
Through our website, customers can purchase:
VetChroma 3 canine progesterone analyzers
Complete VetChroma 3 startup bundles
VetChroma Neo progesterone test kits
Compatible laboratory equipment and testing supplies
Replacement consumables and accessories
Unlike purchasing diagnostic equipment from a general equipment reseller, our customers are working with a business that specializes in canine reproduction technology.
What Is the VetChroma 3 Canine Progesterone Analyzer?
The VetChroma 3 is a benchtop veterinary fluorescence immunoassay analyzer designed to perform quantitative diagnostic testing, including canine progesterone testing.
In canine reproduction, progesterone testing helps monitor hormonal changes throughout a female dog's reproductive cycle.
Rather than relying exclusively on physical signs of heat or calendar-based breeding estimates, serial progesterone measurements provide information that can assist with evaluating ovulation timing and planning breeding decisions.
The VetChroma 3 is designed to bring this testing capability into an in-house diagnostic workflow.
Key VetChroma 3 Features
Large 7-Inch Touchscreen
The VetChroma 3 features a modern touchscreen interface that allows users to navigate the system, manage testing operations, and review results.
Three-Test Simultaneous Processing
The analyzer can process up to three compatible tests simultaneously, making it especially useful for facilities managing multiple breeding females or performing frequent testing.
Built-In Incubation
Unlike the original VetChroma Classic workflow, the VetChroma 3 incorporates incubation and heating directly into the analyzer.
This eliminates the need for a separate external test incubator during the normal compatible testing workflow.
Integrated Result Printer
The built-in printer allows users to produce physical test records directly from the analyzer.
Quantitative Progesterone Measurements
Compatible canine progesterone assays provide numerical results that help monitor changing hormone levels throughout the reproductive cycle.
Compact Professional Design
Despite its additional testing capabilities, the VetChroma 3 maintains a compact benchtop design suitable for organized testing environments.
The result is a more integrated diagnostic platform designed for breeders and professionals who want greater testing capacity without a complicated laboratory setup.
Why We Believe the VetChroma 3 Is a Significant Upgrade
At K9Reproduction, we have spent more than 15 years working with canine reproduction equipment, progesterone testing, and breeding technology.
One thing we've learned is that the best analyzer isn't necessarily the one with the longest list of technical specifications.
It's the machine that fits how someone actually works.
The original VetChroma Classic remains a capable system, particularly for customers who appreciate its compact design and portability.
However, the VetChroma 3 addresses several practical limitations of older individual-test workflows.
Consider a reproduction facility managing multiple progesterone appointments throughout the day.
With traditional single-test operation, testing capacity can become a bottleneck. The ability to manage multiple tests simultaneously helps reduce that limitation.
Built-in incubation also means fewer separate components are required at the testing station.
For someone purchasing their first analyzer or expanding an established reproduction business, these improvements can make daily operations more efficient.
Our perspective: If you already own a functioning VetChroma Classic and only perform occasional testing, an immediate upgrade may not be necessary. But for customers purchasing a new VetChroma system, the VetChroma 3 offers a more modern platform with additional room to grow.

Why Choosing the Right Progesterone Test Kit Matters
Purchasing the analyzer is only one part of establishing a dependable progesterone testing system.
Your testing results also depend on the correct assay, sample preparation, handling procedures, and compatible consumables.
K9Reproduction supplies VetChroma Neo Canine Progesterone Test Kits, designed for use with compatible VetChroma analyzers.
The newer Neo testing format offers several practical advantages.
Convenient Room-Temperature Storage
Older-generation VetChroma progesterone reagents required refrigerated storage.
VetChroma Neo test kits are designed for room-temperature storage under the manufacturer's specified conditions.
This can make inventory management and everyday testing more convenient, particularly for facilities ordering replacement supplies regularly.
Fast Testing Workflow
Compatible VetChroma Neo progesterone assays generally provide results in approximately 10 minutes, depending on the applicable testing protocol.
Quantitative Progesterone Results
VetChroma Neo assays provide numerical progesterone measurements to help users monitor changes over time.
Replacement Kits Available in the USA
Customers can continue purchasing compatible test kits and testing supplies directly through K9Reproduction without needing to source them from an overseas equipment supplier.
Current VetChroma Neo kits are sold in boxes of 10 tests.
Important: Always confirm compatibility with your specific analyzer and follow the current manufacturer's instructions. Not all older-generation test formats are interchangeable.
What We've Learned From Working With Progesterone Testing Equipment
One of the biggest misconceptions about purchasing a progesterone analyzer is that having a machine automatically makes progesterone testing simple.
The analyzer is important, but so is the testing process.
In our experience, sample preparation and consistency are just as important as choosing the equipment itself.
Incorrect pipetting, poor sample quality, improper reagent preparation, or inconsistent testing methods can all affect results.
Another important consideration is understanding that progesterone measurements should be evaluated as a trend rather than treating one isolated number as a guaranteed breeding date.
This is especially relevant when coordinating natural breeding, chilled semen shipments, or frozen semen insemination.
A numerical progesterone result is useful information, but it must be interpreted in the context of the individual female, her testing history, and the intended breeding method.
That's why we emphasize proper equipment education alongside product sales.
Our goal is to help customers understand not only which machine to purchase, but also how its testing workflow fits into a real breeding program.
Reproductive diagnosis and treatment decisions should be made with appropriate veterinary guidance.
VetChroma 3 Complete Startup Bundle vs. Machine Only
Customers purchasing the VetChroma 3 from K9Reproduction have two primary options.
Option 1: VetChroma 3 Complete Startup Bundle
Our Complete Startup Bundle is intended for customers building an in-house canine progesterone testing station.
In addition to the analyzer, the bundle includes compatible progesterone testing supplies and supporting laboratory equipment such as:
Microcentrifuge
Vortex mixer
Adjustable micropipette
Pipette tips and sample tubes
Test tube rack
Blood collection and laboratory accessories
The bundle is designed to reduce the need to purchase individual testing components separately.
Current listed price: $3,899
Option 2: VetChroma 3 Analyzer Only
For existing reproduction facilities that already own compatible laboratory equipment, purchasing the analyzer separately may be a better option.
Current listed price: $3,799.99
Prices and bundle contents are subject to change. Review the current product listing for details.
