Canine Leptospira Antibody Rapid Test Kit
Short Introduction
All dogs can contract leptospira, but dogs who have especially outdoor lifestyles are at higher risk because of increased contact with dirty water and wild animals.
Leptospira can damage a dog's kidney, causing symptoms similar to kidney disease, namely excessive thirst and frequent urination. This is also true of signs of liver failure because leptospira can cause liver damage.
The Canivet LEPTO Ab Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Leptospira spp. antibodies (LEPTO Ab) in animal's serum, plasma or whole blood specimen.
Principle
The Canivet LEPTO Ab Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test card 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 specimen 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 Leptospira recombinant antigens. If there are Leptospira antibodies 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 indicate the presence of Leptospira antibodies in the specimen.
Test Procedure
-Allow all materials, including specimen and test device, recover to 15-25ºC before running the assay.
-Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-Use the capillary dropper to suck specimen and place 1 drop (approx.10μL) of the prepared specimen into sample hole "S" of the test card. Then drop 3 drops (approx. 90μL) of the assay buffer into the sample hole. Start the timer.
-Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.
Interpretation Of Result
-Positive (+): The presence of both "C" line and zone "T" line, no matter T line is clear or vague.
-Negative (-): Only the C line is visible.
-Invalid: No colored line appears in C zone. No matter if T line appears.
