Porcine circovirus antibody (PCV Ab) Rapid Test Kit
Catalog No.:
Description
This test qualitatively detects antibodies to porcine circovirus (PCV) in serum or plasma from pigs. It helps assess prior exposure to or vaccination against PCV, the cause of circovirus-associated disease. A visible result is read by the naked eye within minutes at the point of care.

INTENDED USE
Qualitative detection of antibodies to porcine circovirus (PCV) in serum or plasma collected from pigs, for veterinary point-of-care use. It aids in evaluating previous exposure to or immunization against PCV, the cause of porcine circovirus-associated disease. Detection of antibody indicates immune status rather than active infection, and results must be interpreted together with clinical signs and other diagnostics.
PRINCIPLE
The PCV 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 PCV antigen and a control (C) line. When the processed serum or plasma is added to the sample well, it migrates by capillary action. If anti-PCV antibodies are present, they bind the gold-conjugated anti-porcine IgG 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
The test uses serum or plasma collected from pigs. Collect blood by venipuncture into an appropriate tube and separate serum or plasma, avoiding hemolysis. Use fresh samples; keep them cool if testing is not performed immediately.
