Pet Birds Trichomonas-Salmonella Antigen Combo Test

Short Introduction
 The Pet birds TRM-SE Ag Combo Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Pet birds Trichomonas antigen (TRM Ag) and Salmonella antigen (SE Ag) in secretions from bird's cloaca or feces.

Assay Time: 5-10 minutes

Reagents And Materials
-10 test pouches, with cards and disposable droppers
-10 vials of assay buffer
-10 bags of swab stick
-1 package insert

Principle
The Pet birds TRM-SE Ag Combo 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 Pet birds Trichomonas antigen (TRM Ag) and Salmonella antigen (SE Ag) 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 Trichomonas antigen and Salmonella antigen in the specimen.

Test Procedure-Collect bird's cloacal secretions or feces with the swab and make the swab wet sufficiently.
-Insert the swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitates it to get efficient sample extraction.
-Take out the test device from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 4 drops into the sample hole "S" of the test device.
Note: If the liquid will not flow through the surface of the test strip in 30 seconds, please add another drop of the treated sample solution.-Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 15 minutes is considered as invalid.

Interpretation Of Result
- Positive (+): The presence of both "C" line and zone "T" line, no matter T line is clear or vague.
- Negative (-): Only clear C line appear. No T line.
- Invalid: No colored line appears in C zone. No matter if T line appears.
