Feline Giardia Antigen Rapid Test

PRINCIPLE


The Feline Giardia Ag Rapid Test Kit is based on sandwich transverse flow immunochromatography. The test appliance has a test window to watch the test run and read the results. Before running a test, the test window has an invisible T (test) area and a C (control) area. When the treated sample is applied to the sample hole on the device, the liquid will flow across the surface of the test strip and react with the pre-coated monoclonal antibody. If there is Jaegarworm antigen in the specimen, a visible T line will appear.

The C line should always appear after the application sample, which indicates a valid result. In this way, the device can accurately indicate the presence of jia jia antigen in the specimen.
