Feline Panleukopenia Virus Antigen test Kit (colloidal gold method)

Intended Use]
Feline distemper, also known as feline panleukopenia and feline infectious enteritis, is an acute high contact infectious disease of cats. Clinical manifestations are mainly characterised by sudden onset of high fever, intractable vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, circulatory disorders and rapid reduction of white blood cells. The virus infects domestic cats as well as other felines. Cats of all ages can be infected. In most cases, cats under 1 year of age are susceptible, with an infection rate of up to 70% and a mortality rate of 50% to 60%, and kittens under 5 months of age have a mortality rate of up to 80% to 90%. This kit is used for the detection of feline microvirus antigen in cat faeces and vomitus.
【Reaction Principle
Rapid immunochromatographic detection technology for the detection of feline distemper virus antigen. After adding the sample obtained from cat faeces and vomitus into the spiking wells, the sample is moved along the chromatographic membrane together with the colloidal gold-labelled anti-FPV monoclonal antibody. If FPV antigen is present in the sample, it binds to the antibody on the detection line (T) and shows a burgundy colour. If FPV antigen is not present in the sample, no colour reaction occurs.

Storage conditions and expiry date

Store at 2-30°C. Valid for 24 months.
【Sample requirements

This kit is only suitable for testing cat faeces and vomit samples.
The test sample is collected fresh and put into the dilution solution immediately, and the diluted sample should be tested as soon as possible within 1 hour.
If it can not be detected in time, the diluted sample can be stored at 2-8℃ for 24 hours and -20℃ for 1 month.
[Detection method

Use disposable swabs to collect cat faeces and vomit samples. After collection, put the samples into the diluted solution and stir, let it rest for 1min, take out the swabs, tighten the cap and mix it upside down.
Tear open the aluminium foil pouch of the test card, take out the test card and put it on a flat, clean countertop.
Pipette 3 drops (approx. 80 μl) of the diluted sample into the spiked hole of the test card and wait for the result.
Wait for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to read the test result, the result is invalid after more than 20 minutes.
Note: The above reading time is carried out at room temperature 15-30℃, if the temperature is lower than 15℃, the reading time should be extended appropriately; if the temperature is higher than 30℃, the reading time should be shortened appropriately.
