New Swine Flu (G4 EA H1N1) Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab), influenza virus
INTENDED USE
The New Swine Flu (G4 EA H1N1) Antigen Rapid Test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of New Swine influenza virus (G4 EA H1N1) in Nasal swab samples, using the rapid immunochromatographic method.
PRINCIPLE
The New Swine Flu (G4 EA H1N1) Antigen Rapid Test is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of New Swine Flu virus (G4 EA H1N1) in swine’s Nasal swab samples. In this test, antibody specific to the New Swine Flu is coated on the test line region of the test cassette. During testing, the extracted specimen reacts with the antibody to New Swine Flu that is coated onto particles. The mixture migrates up the membrane to react with the antibody to New Swine Flu on the membrane and generate one colored line in the test region.
The presence of this colored line in test region indicates a positive result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control region if the test has performed properly.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
Store as packaged in the sealed pouch either at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30 °C). The test is stable through the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. The test cassette must remain in the sealed pouch until use. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not use beyond the expiration date.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test, specimen, extraction buffer to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30 °C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
2. Collect nasal swabs from acute hyperthermia and untreated sick pigs. The swab should be inserted into the nostril and rotated on the inner wall 5-10 times to collect virus as much as possible. Withdraw the sterile nasal swab from the nostril.
3. Remove the cover of the tube containing the extraction buffer. See illustration 1. Place the tube in the workstation.Place the swab specimen in the extraction tube. Rotate the swab for approximately 10 seconds while pressing the head against the inside of the tube to release the antigen in the swab. See illustration 2.
4. Remove the swab while squeezing the swab head against the inside of the extraction tube as remove it to expel as much liquid as possible from the swab. Discard the swab in accordance with local biohazard waste disposal protocol. See illustration 3.
5. Tighten the extraction tube cap on top of the extraction tube. Hold the specimen collection tube upright then unscrew the cap of the specimen collection tube. See illustration 4.
6. Invert the specimen collection tube and add 3 drops of the solution (approx.120 μL) to the sample well and then start the timer.
7. Read the result at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Positive: The presence of both C line and T line, no matter T line is clear or vague. Negative: Only clear C line appears.
Invalid: No colored line appears in C zone, no matter whether T line appears
