Avian Influenza Virus Ag Test

Cat No.: W81033

 

 

1.     INTENDED USE

Quicking Avian Influenza Virus Antigen Rapid Test is a sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of avian influenza virus (AIV Ag) in avian secretions.

Assay Time:  5 - 10 min

Sample: secretions 

 

2.     PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY

Quicking Avian Influenza Virus Ag Rapid Test is based on sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test device has a testing window. The testing window has an invisible T (test) zone and C (control) zone. When sample is applied into the sample hole on the device, the liquid will laterally flow on the surface of the test strip. If there is enough AIV antigen in the sample, a visible T band will appear. The C band should always appear after a sample is applied, indicating a valid result. By this means, the device can accurately indicate the presence of Avian Influenza Virus antigen in the sample.

 

3.     KIT COMPONENT

-       10×foil pouches, each containing one cassette, one pipette and a desiccant

-       10×assay buffer tubes (0.8 mL each) 

-       10×swab sticks

-       Product Manual

 

4.     TEST PROCEDURE

-       Insert the swab stick into bird’s cloacae or dip the swab stick in bird’s eyes to collect the secretions. Please make the swab wet sufficiently.

-       Insert the wet swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitate it  to assure good sample extraction.

-       Take out the cassette from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.

-       Gradually drip 3 drops of sample extraction into the sample hole “S”.

Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.

 

 

5.     INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS 

Positive: The presence of both C band and T band, no matter T band is clear or vague.

Negative: Only clear C band appears.

Invalid: No colored band appears in C zone, no matter whether T band appears.

 

 

6.     STORAGE

The kit can be stored at room temperature (2-30°C). The test kit is stable through the expiration date (18 months) marked on the foil pouch. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not store the test kit in direct sunlight.
