Description
Product Overview
The SARCOPTES-ELISA 2001 PIG is an enzyme immunoassay designed for the detection of IgG antibodies to Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis (the causative agent of sarcoptic mange) in serum and plasma samples from swine. This test is particularly useful for monitoring pig herds and certifying the absence of sarcoptic mange mites, especially in herds with optimal housing and feeding conditions where infections are often subclinical or chronic.
Background
Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis is a significant ectoparasite in pigs, causing morbidity, mortality, decreased fertility, and reduced feed efficiency. Traditional diagnostic methods often fail to detect subclinical infections, making ELISA-based detection essential for herd health management.
Features and Benefits
Workflow and Usability
Recommended Usage
It is recommended to test a portion of the herd (e.g., 30 of 100 or more sows) for anti-sarcoptic antibodies every six months to monitor and certify herd health.
Regulatory and Availability Information
Assays are for veterinary use only. Regulatory requirements vary by country, and the product may not be available in all geographic areas. PCR and ELISA kits are available/distributed outside the U.S. and Canada.
Product Contents
1 Microtitre plate (96 wells coated with antigen), Sample dilution buffer, Wash buffer (10x concentrate), Conjugate solution, Substrate solution, Stop solution, Positive control serum, Negative control serum

Features and Benefits
- Method of choice for monitoring and detection of sarcoptes infections in swine
- High sensitivity of 94% and high specificity of 97% (validated with n = 134 characterized pigs known to be either free of sarcoptes or infected)
Workflow and Usability
- Ready-to-use reagents (Positive/Negative Controls, Conjugate, Substrate, Stop Solution)
- Color-coded caps for easy identification
- Interchangeable reagents between AFOSA assays
- Microplate with 12 individual strips of 8 wells
- All AFOSA ELISA kits use the same short protocol
- Unified pipetting volume of 100 µl
- Suitable for automated ELISA instruments
