Canine Parainfluenza Virus Antigen Test Kit (CPIV-Ag)

Test principle of the Canine Parainfluenza Virus Antigen Test Kit

This product uses rapid immunochromatography technology to detect canine parainfluenza virus antigen in canine oral, nasal and pharyngeal secretions. If CPIV antigen was present in the sample, it would specifically bind to the recombinant protein labeled with colloidal gold to form a complex that moved along the chromatographic membrane and was captured by CPIV antibody coated on the membrane, showing a wine red line on the detection line (T). If the CPIV antigen is not present in the sample, no visible line is formed at the T position. No matter the result is negative or positive, the C line should be colored, otherwise the result is invalid.

Interpretation of Results

Negative: In the test window, only one fuchsia-colored line appear next to “C”.
Positive: In the test window, two distinct colored lines appear next to “T” & “C” simultaneously.
Invalid: No color line visible next to “C”.

NOTE: Invalid test results can be caused by a variety of reasons and should be re-tested.
