Canine Distemper Virus Ag Test , Rapid Test Kits Accuracy Rate High As 98%
Application:
CDV Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Secretions) is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of antigen of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV Ag) in dog’s nasal/ocular secretions.
Description:
CDV Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is a qualitative lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for detection of antigens of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV). The test cassette has a testing window. The testing window has T (test) region and C (control) region. During testing, sample is applied into the sample well on the cassette. CDV antigens, if present in specimen, react with the pre-coated anti-CDV antibodies in the test strip. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with anti-CDV antibodies on the membrane in the test line region. If the specimen contains Canine Distemper Virus, a colored line will appear in the test line region indicating a positive result. If the specimen does not contain CDV antigens, a colored line will not appear in the test line region indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
How to use?
- Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
- Collect dog’s ocular and nasal secretions with the swab provided. Make the swab wet sufficiently.
- Insert the wet swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitate it to assure good sample extraction.
- Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of extracted sample (approximately 120 μl) to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, then start the timer. See illustration below.
- Read the result in 5-10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 15 minutes. Note: Collect ocular secretion from upper and lower eyelids, please avoid secretions at the corner of the eye.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Positive: The presence of both C line and T line, regardless of T line being strong or faint.
Negative: Only clear C line appears.
Invalid: No colored line appears in C region, regardless of T line’s appearance.
