Canine Parainfluenza Virus Antigen Rapid Test
- INTENDED USE
Canine Parainfluenza Virus Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of canine parainfluenza virus antigen (CPIV Ag) in secretions from dog’s eyes, nasal cavities, and anus specimen.
Assay Time: 5-10 minutes
- PRINCIPLE
Canine Parainfluenza Virus Antigen 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 monoclonal antibodies. If there is CPIV antigen in the specimen, a visible T line will appears. 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 parainfluenza virus antigen in the specimen.
- REAGENTS AND MATERIALS
- Foil pouches (each contains one test cassette,one disposable dropper and one desiccant)
- Assay buffer
- Cotton swabs
- Products Manual
- STORAGEAND STABILITY
The kit can be stored at room temperature (4-30°C). The test kit is stable through the expiration date (24 months) marked on the package label. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not store the test kit in direct sunlight.
- 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.
- Take out the test devicefrom the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
- Suck thetreated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops into the sample hole “S” of the test device.
- Interpret the result in 5-10 Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.
