Quick Detection of Canine Parvovirus, Coronavirus and Giardia Lamblia Antigens in Dog's Feces

CPV+CCV+Giardia Lamblia Antigen Combo Rapid Test (Feces)

 

REF VIPCG-637

 

INTENDED USE

The CPV+CCV+Giardia Lamblia Antigen Combo Rapid Test (Feces) is a sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Canine Parvovirus antigen and Canine Coronavirus antigen and Giardia lamblia antigen in dog’s feces.

For veterinary use only.

 

PRINCIPLE

The CPV+CCV+Giardia Lamblia Antigen Combo Rapid Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test has three testing windows with an invisible T (test) zone and C (control) zone in each. During testing, the liquid will laterally flow on the surface of the test strip. If there is enough CPV, CCV and Giardia Lamblia antigens in the sample, a visible T line will appear in the corresponding region. The C line should always appear after a sample is applied, indicating a valid result. By this means, the test can accurately indicate the presence of CPV, CCV and Giardia Lamblia antigens in the sample.

 

STORAGE AND STABILITY

Store as packaged in the sealed pouch either at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30 °C). The test is stable through the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. The test must remain in the sealed pouch until use. DO NOT FREEZE.

Do not use beyond the expiration date.

 

PRECAUTIONS

 Do not use after the expiration date. Do not reuse the test kit.

 Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Observe established precautions against microbiological hazards throughout testing and follow the standard procedures for proper disposal of specimens.

 Wear disposable gloves and eye protection when specimens are being tested.

 Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.

 Do not remove test from its pouch until immediately before use.

 Do not mix components from different lot and different products.

 Please ensure that an appropriate amount of samples are used for testing. Too much or too little sample size may lead to deviation of results.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Allow the test and specimen to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30 °C) prior to testing.

1. Remove the test from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.

2. Unscrew the cap of the test cup.

Collect dog’s feces with the swab from dog’s anus. Insert the wet swab into the test cup and mix well. Remove the swab.

Collect dog’s feces with the collection applicator on the ground.

Randomly stab the specimen collection applicator into the specimen in at least

3 different sites to collect approximately 50 mg of feces (equivalent to 1/4 of a pea). Do not scoop the fecal specimen.

3. Insert the specimen collection applicator back into the test cup and tighten the cap.

4. Shake the test cup for about 10-15 seconds to mix well. Leave the cup for reaction for 2 minutes.

5. Remove the plastic limit strip of the test cup.

6. Put the test cup on a clean and level surface, press the cup body from the top to the bottom and start the timer.

Note: Keep the test upright while testing. Do not move or turn the test upside down.

7. Read the result at 5-10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 15 minutes.
