Canine heartworm virus antigen (CHW Ag) Test kit

Catalog No.:FRCHWAGW

Description

A fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) rapid test for the qualitative or semi-quantitative detection of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) antigen in whole blood, serum, or plasma. It supports early screening and diagnosis of heartworm infection and treatment monitoring at the veterinary point of care.

INTENDED USE

For in vitro detection of Dirofilaria immitis (canine heartworm) antigen in canine whole blood, serum, or plasma. It aids in the screening and diagnosis of heartworm infection, including in the prepatent period, and in monitoring following adulticide treatment. For veterinary use only; confirm positive results with additional diagnostics.

PRINCIPLE

The test is a fluorescence immunochromatographic assay in a double-antibody sandwich format. Anti-heartworm capture monoclonal antibodies are immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane at the T line, with a control line at C. A fluorescent nanoparticle-conjugated anti-heartworm antibody is dispensed on the conjugate pad. In the sample, circulating antigen binds the labeled antibody and migrates; it is captured at the T line to form a sandwich. The analyzer measures the T/C fluorescence intensity ratio to determine the presence and relative level of heartworm antigen.

SPECIMEN

Canine whole blood, serum, or plasma (WB/S/P). Use anticoagulated whole blood where applicable and follow the sample-to-diluent preparation steps before application.
