Feline Herpes Antibody Rapid Test Kit

Introduction

The Feline Herpesvirus Antibody Rapid test Kit is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the semi-quantitative detection of Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 Antibody (FHV Ab) in cat’s serum, or plasma. Assay Time: 10 minutes

Benefits

1. One-step whole blood, serum and plasma testing.

2. Simple operation, non-professional on-site inspection.

3. The detection process is fast, and the result will be displayed in about 15 minutes.

4. The test time is less than or equal to 10 seconds, and it can detect 270 samples per hour at the fastest.

5. The detection equipment is compact, easy to carry, mobile terminal operation, cloud platform quality control.

6. The detection sensitivity is high, comparable to that of enzyme-labeled kits.

Principle

Feline Herpes Antibody Rapid test Kit is based on colloidal gold immunochromatography technology. During the test, the feline herpesvirus antigen in the sample and the colloidal gold-coated monoclonal antibody form an antigen-antibody complex, which flows along the test strip to the other end of the NC membrane. As the complex flows towards the T region on the membrane, specific antibodies immobilized on the membrane capture the complex and gradually condense into visible T-lines. Unbound colloidal gold antibody flows through the T region and is captured by the secondary antibody in the C region, forming a visible C line. The appearance of C line indicates the appearance of immunochromatography, that is, the test strip is effective; the existence of T line indicates that the sample contains feline herpes virus.

Test Procedure

-Collect dog’s ocular, nasal or anus secretions with the cotton Swab and make the Swab wet sufficiently.
-Insert the Swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitates it to get efficient sample extraction. 
-If using serum or plasma specimen, use the dropper to collect the specimen. 

-Place 3 drops of serum or plasma into the assay buffer tube for dilution. The diluted sample is used as sample extraction. 
-Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops into each sample hole “S” of the test card. 
-Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.

INTERPRETATION OF ASSAY RESULT

- Positive (+): Whether the T line is clear or fuzzy, the "C" line and the region "T" line are present.

- Negative (-): Shows only the sharp C line. No T line.

- Invalid: no color lines in zone C. Whether the T line appears or not.

Precaution

-All reagents must be tested at room temperature.

-Do not take the test tape out of the bag before use.

-Do not use the test after the expiration date.

-The components in this kit have been used as a standard batch processing unit for quality control testing. Do not mix parts of different batch numbers.

-All specimens are potentially infected. Must be treated strictly in accordance with the local country's rules and regulations.

Limitation 

Canivet cdv-cav-cvi-cpiv antigen combination test is only used for in vitro veterinary diagnosis. All results should be considered with other clinical data and can be discussed with the veterinarian. When a positive result is detected, it is recommended to use further confirmation methods such as RT-PCR.
