The Toxoplasma IgG/IgM Antibody Rapid Test is a test cassette to diagnose the presence of anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM in animal’s blood specimen. Assay Time: 5-10 minutes Specimen: Serum, plasma
PRINCIPLE
The Toxoplasma IgG/IgM Antibody Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay.
REAGENTS AND MATERIALS
- Test devices
- Disposable capillary droppers
- Assay buffer
- 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 marked on the package label. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not store the test kit in direct sunlight.
SPECIMEN PREPARATION AND STORAGE
1. Specimen should be obtained and treated as below. Collect the whole blood for the patient animal, centrifuge it to get the serum, or place the whole blood into a tube which contains anticoagulants to get plasma.
2. All specimen should be tested immediately. If not for testing right now, they should be stored at 2-8℃.
TEST PROCEDURE
- Allow all materials, including specimen and test device, recover to 15-25℃ before running the assay.
- Take out the test device from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
- Using the capillary dropper to place 1 drop of the prepared specimen into the sample hole “S” of the test device. Then drop 2 drops (approx. 80μL) of the assay buffer into the sample hole immediately.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
- IgG Positive (+): The presence of “C” line and “IgG” line, which indicates that the animal has been contracted to Toxoplasma gondii.
- IgM Positive (+): The presence of “C” line and “IgM” line, which indicates a possible current contract of Toxoplasma gondii.
