Canine ANA Ab

Canine Anaplasma Antibody Rapid Test (Anaplasma Ab)

Catalog No.: JCA011D

¤  INTENDED USE

The Canine Anaplasma Antibody Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Canine Anaplasma Antibody (ANA Ab) in dog’s serum, plasma, or whole blood.

Assay Time:  5-10 minutes

Specimen: serum, plasma, or whole blood.

¤  PRINCIPLE

The Canine Anaplasma Antibody Rapid Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test device 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 treated sample 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 Anaplasma antigens. If there are anti-Anaplasma 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 accurately indicate the presence of Canine Anaplasma antibodies in the specimen.

¤  REAGENTS AND MATERIALS

- Test devices, with disposable droppers

- Assay buffer  

- Cotton swabs

- Products Manual

¤  STORAGE AND STABILITY

The kit can be stored at room temperature (4-30°C). The test kit is stable through the expiration date (24 months) marked on the package label. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not store the test kit in direct sunlight.

¤  TEST PROCEDURE

- Allow all materials, including specimen and test device, recover to 15-25℃ before running the assay.

- Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.

- Use the capillary dropper to place 1 drop (approx.10μL) of the prepared specimen into each sample hole “S” of the test card. Then drop 3 drops (approx. 90μL) of the assay buffer into each sample hole. Start the timer.

- Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.

¤  INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

- Positive (+): The presence of both “C” line and zone “T” line, no matter T line is clear or vague.

- Negative (-): Only clear C line appear. No T line.

- Invalid: No colored line appears in C zone. No matter if T line appears.

¤  PRECAUTIONS

- All reagents must be at room temperature before running the assay.

- Do not remove test cassette from its pouch until immediately before use.

- Do not use the test beyond its expiration date. 

- The components in this kit have been quality control tested as standard batch unit. Do not mix components from different lot numbers.

- All specimens are of potential infection. It must be strictly treated according to the rules and regulations by local states.

¤  LIMITATION

The Canine Anaplasma Antibody Rapid Test is for in vitro veterinary diagnosis use only. All result should be considered with other clinical information available with veterinarian. It is suggested to apply a further confirmative method when positive result was observed.
