FMD antigen rapid test card for bovine, goat and porcine

Catalog No. LSY-20090-2

1. Principle
This test card is based on colloidal gold immunochromatography technology to detect all subtypes of foot-and-mouth disease antigen in samples of feces, saliva or blisters on the skin from bovine, goat and pig qualitatively. When testing, FMD Ag in sample combine with antibody coated by colloid gold forming complexes, moving forward to the other head. When reaching the T-line, the specific antibody on the membrane capture the complexes and appear a T line. C line is Control line, C line appears, means the test is valid.  

2. Specifications:  40 tests/kit

3. Components  
1) FMD antigen test card      40  pieces
2) Sample buffer tube          40  pieces
3) Disposable cotton swab    40  pieces
4) Dropper                         40  pieces
5) Manual                          1   piece

4.Sample preparation
1). Use a cotton swab to take samples of feces, saliva or blisters on the skin;
2). Insert the cotton swab into the sample buffer tube immediately after sampling, rotate the cotton swab repeatedly on the tube wall at least 10 times, and mix the solution to dissolve the sample as much as possible in the sample buffer. Squeeze the cotton swab on the tube wall to allow the liquid to be squeezed out as much as possible and discard the cotton swab.

5. Operation procedures
1) Read the manual carefully and return the test card and sample to room temperature before use.
2) Take out test card, use dropper to absorb the sample, drop 3-4 drops into well mark “S”.
3) Read the results in 10-15min at room temperature.


6. Results
Negative（-）: no color reaction on Test Line (T Line),only on Control Line(C Line) being seen red color reaction. It means there is no FMD Antigen in sample or the levels is lower than the detection threshold;
Positive（+）: Both on T Line and C line being seen red color reaction. It means there is certain subtype or multiple subtype of FMD antigen in sample; 
Invalid: No color reaction on C Line. It means the operation is wrong or the test card is invalid. 

7. Notice
1) The test card can be used only once at room temperature, do not reuse or use test card out of expiry date.
