Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Ab Test

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Ab Test

• INTENDED USE

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Ab Test is a sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus antibody (FIV Ab) in cat’s blood.

Assay Time: 10-15 min

Sample: serum, plasma or whole blood

• PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Ab Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test device has a testing window. The testing window has an invisible T (test) zone and C (control) zone. When sample is applied into the sample hole on the device, the liquid will laterally flow on the surface of the test strip. If there is enough FIV antibody in the sample, a visible T band will appear. The C band should always appear after a sample is applied, indicating a valid result. By this means, the device can accurately indicate the presence of FIV antibody in the sample.

• KIT COMPONENT

• 10×foil pouches,each containing a cassette,pipette and desiccant
• 10×assay buffer tubes (0.5 mL each)
• 10×centrifugal tubes
• Product Manual

• TEST PROCEDURE

• Take cat’s blood, serum or plasma as sample.
• Take out the cassette from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
• Drip 1 drop of sample and immediately drip 2 - 3 drops of assay buffer into the sample hole.
• Interpret the result in 10-15 minutes. Result after 15 minutes is considered as invalid.

• INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Positive: The presence of both C band and Tband, no matter T band is clear or vague.

Negative: Only clear C band appears.

Invalid: No colored band appears in C zone, no matter whether T band appears.
