Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit (CDV) for Dogs

Principle : 

The Canine Distemper 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 is applied into the sample hole on the device, the liquid flows laterally through the surface of the test strip and react with the pre- coated monoclonal antibodies. If there is CDV antigen 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 Distemper virus antigen in the spe cimen.

Test Procedure :

1.Allow all materials, including specimen, reagent and test device, recover to 15-25°C before running the assay.

2.Collect dog's ocular, nasal or anus secretions with the cotton swab stick and make the swab wet sufficiently.

3.Insert the swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitate it to get efficient sample extraction.

4. Take out the test device from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.

5. Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops (approx. 15µl) into the sample hole "S" of the test device.

 (Note: If the liquid will not flow through the surface of the test strip in 30 seconds, please add another drop of the treated sample extraction.)

6. Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.
