Canine ehrlichiosis virus antibody (EHR Ab) Rapid Test Kit
Catalog No.:
Description
This test qualitatively detects antibodies against Ehrlichia canis, the rickettsial bacterium that causes canine ehrlichiosis, in serum or plasma from dogs. The disease is tick-transmitted and may be acute, chronic, or subclinical. A positive result indicates exposure; the test gives a visual result in minutes at the point of care.

INTENDED USE
Qualitative detection of antibodies against Ehrlichia canis in serum or plasma collected from dogs, for veterinary point-of-care use. It aids in the diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis, a tick-transmitted rickettsial disease. A positive result indicates exposure rather than necessarily active disease, and results must be interpreted together with clinical signs and other diagnostics such as PCR.
PRINCIPLE
The EHR 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 Ehrlichia canis antigen and a control (C) line. When the processed serum or plasma sample is added to the sample well, it migrates by capillary action. If antibodies against Ehrlichia canis are present, they bind the gold-conjugated anti-antibody and are 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
Use serum or plasma collected from the dog. Allow whole blood to clot and separate serum promptly; for plasma, use an appropriate anticoagulant. Avoid hemolysis and store samples cool; test fresh or refrigerate if analysis is delayed.
