HOW IT WORKS:
The Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test is a user-friendly kit that requires a small sample, typically a nasal or conjunctival swab. The test is based on lateral flow chromatography and detects CDV antigens, providing clear results in just a few minutes. Its simplicity and accuracy make it an invaluable tool for veterinary clinics, shelters, and breeders concerned about CDV infection.
USAGE:
This test is recommended for routine screenings, especially for dogs showing symptoms of CDV infection, or in regions where CDV prevalence is a concern. Consult with a veterinarian for proper interpretation of results and follow-up care.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
- Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test kit
- Sample collection device (e.g., swabs)
- Sterile swabs or wipes (alcohol wipes)
- Timer or clock
TEST PROCEDURE:
Preparation:
- Ensure the test kit is at room temperature (15-30°C / 59-86°F) before use.
- Label the test device with the identification details of the dog.
Sample Collection:
- Use a sterile swab to collect a sample from the dog’s nasal or conjunctival area.
- Apply pressure to the site to stop any minor bleeding if necessary and use a sterile swab or wipe to clean the area.
Test Application:
- Remove the Canine Distemper Virus Antigen Rapid Test cassette from its sealed pouch just before use.
- Place the cassette on a flat, clean surface.
Adding the Sample:
- Insert the collected sample swab into the provided buffer solution and mix thoroughly.
- Using a pipette or provided dropper, add 2-3 drops of the prepared sample to the sample well (S) of the test cassette.
Reading Results:
- Set a timer or clock according to the specified test duration (usually indicated in the kit's instructions).
- Read the results within the specified time frame mentioned in the instructions (usually 5-10 minutes).
Interpretation:
- A visible line in the control region (C) indicates that the test is functioning correctly.
- Interpret the presence or absence of a line in the test region (T). A visible line in both the control (C) and test (T) regions indicates a positive result for CDV antigens. A line only in the control region (C) signifies a negative result.
Result Documentation:
- Record the results accurately, including the date and time of the test, identification details of the dog, and the interpretation of the test (positive or negative).
Disposal:
- Properly dispose of used test components according to local regulations for biohazardous waste.
RESULT INTERPRETATION:
Negative Result:
- Control Line (C): A visible line in the control region (C) indicates the test has worked properly.
- Test Line (T): No line appears in the test region (T), indicating the absence of CDV antigens. This configuration signifies a negative result for CDV antigens.
Positive Result:
- Control Line (C): A visible line in the control region (C) confirms the test's functionality.
- Test Line (T): A visible line appears in both the control (C) and test (T) regions, indicating the presence of CDV antigens. This configuration signifies a positive result for CDV antigens.
Invalid Result:
- No Control Line (C): If there's no visible line in the control region (C), the test is considered invalid. This may suggest an error in the testing process or a faulty test kit.
NOTE:
- Follow the instructions precisely from the insert included in the kit.
- Results should be interpreted by a qualified veterinarian familiar with the test and CDV infections in dogs.
