Product overviewThe SaberVet Bovine Pregnancy Rapid Test is a qualitative lateral-flow assay for detection of Pregnancy-Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) in bovine peripheral blood. Designed for on-farm and veterinary use, it enables early confirmation of pregnancy as early as 26 days post-breeding using whole blood (EDTA), plasma (EDTA) or serum.
Intended useThis test uses a double-antibody sandwich format on a nitrocellulose membrane. PAGs in the sample bind to a colloidal gold conjugate and form a visible band at the test line if present; absence of PAGs yields no test-line coloration. Results are qualitative and intended to assist reproduction management decisions in dairy and beef operations.
Reagents and materials provided- Test devices (sealed pouches)
- Buffer solution
- Disposable droppers
- Package insert with instructions
Materials required but not providedStorage and stabilityStore sealed test devices protected from light at 4-30°C. Do not freeze. Use tests before the expiration date indicated on the package.
Warnings, precautions and safety information- For bovine use only; not for human diagnostics.
- Do not reuse test components.
- Perform test immediately after opening the pouch; humidity and temperature can affect results.
- Do not use after expiry; do not mix components from different lot numbers.
- All biological samples are potentially infectious; wear protective gloves and follow biosecure handling and disposal procedures according to local regulations.
Specimen collection, handling and transport- Acceptable specimens: whole blood (EDTA), plasma (EDTA) or serum.
- Whole blood: test immediately when possible; if delayed, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 24 hours.
- Serum: collect without anticoagulant and centrifuge to obtain serum.
- Plasma: collect with anticoagulant (e.g., EDTA, heparin) and centrifuge to obtain plasma.
- Short-term sample storage: 2-8°C; long-term: freeze at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Clarify samples with precipitate; hemolyzed or contaminated samples may yield inaccurate results.
Performance and shelf lifeClinical performance: sensitivity 99%, specificity 98.8%. Shelf life: 24 months when stored at 2-30°C.
