Clostridium perfringens virus antibody (CLO Ab) Rapid Test Kit
Catalog No.:
Description
This test qualitatively detects antibodies against Clostridium perfringens in canine serum or plasma. It is used in dogs to assess exposure to or immune status against this enterotoxigenic bacterium and gives a clear visual result by the naked eye within minutes at the point of care.

INTENDED USE
Qualitative detection of antibodies to Clostridium perfringens in serum or plasma collected from dogs, for veterinary point-of-care use. Because it detects antibodies rather than the organism or its toxin, a positive result indicates exposure to or immune response against C. perfringens, not necessarily active disease. Results must be interpreted together with clinical signs and other diagnostics.
PRINCIPLE
The CLO Ab Rapid Test is a lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay based on colloidal gold labeling. The test cassette contains a nitrocellulose membrane with a test (T) line pre-coated with capture antigen and a control (C) line. When the processed serum or plasma is added to the sample well, it migrates by capillary action. If the target anti-Clostridium perfringens antibody is present, it binds the gold-conjugated antigen and is captured at the T line, forming a visible colored band. The C line should always appear, confirming the assay ran correctly. Results are read visually by the naked eye within the stated time; no instrument is required.
SPECIMEN
The test uses canine serum or plasma. Collect by venipuncture; allow blood to clot and centrifuge for serum, or use anticoagulated whole blood centrifuged for plasma. Use fresh or properly stored samples; avoid hemolysis, mix well, and bring to room temperature before testing. Do not use severely lipemic or contaminated samples.
