OEM Home STD Kit Porcine Pseudorabies PRV-gE Antibody Test

Porcine Pseudorabies gE Antibody Test, Home Std Kit With Qualitative, VETERINARY Porcine Range

Application:

The PRV-gE Antibody Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of gE antibodies to Porcine Pseudorabies Virus in serum or plasma.

Description:

The PRV-gE Antibody Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane based immunoassay with a double antigen system for the detection of gE antibodies to Porcine Pseudorabies Virus in serum or plasma. The membrane is PRV-gE coated with recombinant PRV-gE antigens. During testing, antibodies to PRV-gE, if present in serum or plasma specimen react with PRV-gE antigen coated colloidal gold particles in the test strip. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with recombinant PRV-gE antigens on the membrane in the test line region. If the specimen contains antibodies to Porcine Pseudorabies Virus, a colored line will appear in the test line region indicating a positive result. If the specimen does not contain Porcine Pseudorabies Virus antibodies, a colored line will not appear in the test line region indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.

How to use?

• Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
• Collect fresh whole blood, and separate serum or plasma from blood as soon as possible to avoid hemolysis. Do not leave the specimens at room temperature for prolonged periods. Serum and plasma specimens may be stored at 2-8 °C for up to 3 days. For long term storage, specimens should be kept below -20 °C.
• Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drop of serum or plasma (approximately 50 μl) to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, then start the timer. See illustration below.
• Read the results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
