The Feline Panleukopenia Virus Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of feline Parvovirus antigen (FPV Ag) in cat’s feces or vomit specimen.
PRINCIPLE
The Feline Panleukopenia Virus Antigen 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 monoclonal antibodies. If there is FPV antigen in the specimen, a visible T line will appears. 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 FPV antigen in the specimen.
