Description
It is suitable for scenarios such as clinical diagnosis in pet hospitals, kennel health screening, and animal epidemic control monitoring, and is especially suitable for routine testing in areas where heartworm disease is prevalent. Heartworm disease can be transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause cardiopulmonary failure in dogs. Traditional microscopic examinations have a high rate of missed diagnosis, and PCR testing is expensive. This product provides a reliable solution for rapid on-site diagnosis.
How to use?
Check the product contents and make sure the test operation is under the room temperature (15–30℃) before testing.
Unseal the extraction tube containing the buffer.Place the extraction tube in the workstation.
Squeeze the upper air bag to absorb the sample (whole blood/serum/plasma) . Please make sure some sample getting into the lower air bag and there is no bubbles in the lower tube. Then press the upper air bag to transfer the sample (about 75 μl) left in the lower tube into the buffer.
Cover the tube, Jiggle the extraction tube until the specimen and the buffer are mixed completely.
Take the test device out of the aluminum foil bag, and place it on a clean, flat table. Add three drops (about 90 μL) of the mixed sample vertically into the specimen well (S) of the test device.
Interpretation of Results
Positive (+): The presence of both C line and T line, regardless of T line being strong or faint.
Negative (-): Only clear C line appears.
Invalid: No colored line appears in C region, regardless of T line's appearance.
