Bovine Tuberculosis Antibody Rapid Test
INTENDED USE
The Bovine Tuberculosis Antibody Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Bovine Tuberculosis Antibody (BTB Ab) in cattle’s serum, plasma. MPB70 and MPB83 chimera recombinant was applied in this assay.
Assay Time: 5-10 minutes
Specimen: serum, plasma
PRINCIPLE
The Bovine Tuberculosis Antibody Rapid Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test device has a testing window for the observation of assay running and result reading. The testing window has an invisible T (test) zone and a C (control) zone before running the assay. When the treated sample was applied into the sample hole on the device, the liquid will laterally flow through the surface of the test strip and react with the pre-coated Tuberculosis antigens. If there are anti-TB antibodies in the specimen, a visible T line will appear. The C line should always appear after a sample is applied, which indicates a valid result. By this means, the device can accurately indicate the presence of Bovine Tuberculosis antibodies (BTB Ab) in the specimen.

TEST PROCEDURE
- Collect cattle’s fresh whole blood, and get the serum or plasmaspecimen for use. Immediately apply the testing once collected the specimen.
- Allow all materials, including specimen and test device, recover to 15-25℃before running the assay.
- Take out the test devicefrom the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-
- Place 1drop (around 10μL) of serum or plasma specimen into the sample hole”S”. Then place 3 drops of assay buffer into the sample hole immediately.
- Interpret the result in 5-10 Result after 15 minutes is considered as invalid.
