AffiVET® Porcine Toxoplasma Gondii Antibody Rapid Test Card

Porcine Toxoplasma gondii antibody rapid test card

1. Principle

This test strip is based on colloidal gold immuno-chromatography technique to detect Toxoplasma gondii antibody in Porcine serum, plasma and whole blood qualitatively. When testing, Toxoplasma Antibody in sample combine with antigen coated by colloid gold forming complexes, moving forward to the other head. When reaching the T-line, the specific antigen on the membrane capture the complexes and appear a T line. C line appears, means the test is valid. The T line appears, means there is Toxoplasma Antibody in the sample.

2. Specifications:  40 tests/kit

3.Components

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 Toxoplasma gondii antibody 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 Toxoplasma gondii antibody in sample;

Invalid: No color reaction on C Line. It means the operation is wrong or the test card is invalid.
