Anigen Rapid Canine Parvovirus-Coronavirus Antigen Test Kit

Company: Modern Veterinary Therapeutics

One-step Canine Parvovirus Antigen and Canine Coronavirus Antigen Test

● Principles

The Canine Parvovirus-Coronavirus Antigen Test Kit is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Canine Parvovirus antigen and Coronavirus antigen in canine feces.

The Anigen Rapid Canine Parvovirus-Coronavirus Ag Test Kit has the letters “T” and “C” as the Test line and Control line on the surface of the device. Both the test line and control line in the result window are not visible before applying any samples. The control line is used for procedural control, and should always appear if the test procedure is performed properly and the test reagents of the control line are working. A purple test line will be visible in the result window if there is enough Canine Parvovirus antigen and/or Canine Coronavirus antigen in the specimen.

The specially selected Canine Parvovirus antibodies and Canine Coronavirus antibodies are used in the test band as both capture and detector materials. These enable the Anigen Rapid Canine Parvovirus-Coronavirus Antigen Test Kit to identify Canine Parvovirus antigen and Canine Coronavirus antigen in canine feces.

2) Ten (10) Specimen tubes containing assay diluent (Diluent contains sodium azide as a preservative.)

3) Ten (10) Sample collection swabs

4) Ten (10) Disposable droppers

5) One (1) Instructions for use

● Precautions

1) For veterinary diagnostic use only.

2) For best results, strict adherence to the instructions is required.

3) All specimens should be handled as being potentially infectious.

4) Do not open or remove test kits from their individually sealed pouches until immediately before their use.

5) Do not use the test kit if the pouch is damaged or the seal is broken.

6) Do not reuse test kits.

7) All reagents must be at room temperature (15-30°C) before running the assay.

8) Do not use reagents beyond the stated expiration date marked on the label.

9) The components in this kit have been quality control tested as a standard batch unit. Do not mix components from different lot numbers.

10) The kit should be disposed of according to local regulations for hazardous materials and in vitro diagnostics.

● Storage and Stability

The kit can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30°C). The test kit is stable through the expiration date marked on the package label. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not store the test kit in direct sunlight.

● Specimen Collection and Preparation

1) Samples from canine feces should be used for this test.

2) The specimens should be tested immediately after collection.

● Procedure of the Test

1) Collect a sample from canine feces using a swab.

2) Insert the swab into a specimen tube containing 1ml of assay diluent.

3) Mix the swab sample with the assay diluent vigorously to extract the viruses.

4) Remove a test device from an aluminum foil pouch, and place it on a flat and dry surface.

5) Using a disposable dropper provided, take an aliquot from the extracted and mixed sample in the tube.

6) If the feces particles are large, wait for 1 minute until the large particles are settled, and then take the supernatant of the sample in the tube.

7) Add four (4) drops into the sample hole using the disposable dropper. The assay diluent should be added exactly, slowly, drop by drop.

8) As the test begins to work, you will see a purple color move across the result window in the center of the test device. If the migration has not appeared after 1 minute, add one more drop of the mixed assay diluent to the sample well.

9) Interpret test results at 5 - 10 minutes. Do not decide after 10 minutes.
