Introduction

The Canine Parvovirus Antigen (CPV Ag) test kit is an essential tool for veterinarians and pet owners. It helps in the early detection of parvovirus infection, which is a serious and highly contagious disease affecting dogs. Correct usage of the test kit is critical to obtain accurate results.

CPV Ag Test Kit Description

The CPV Ag test kit is designed to detect the presence of canine parvovirus antigen in fecal samples. It is a rapid diagnostic tool providing results typically within 10 minutes. The test kit includes a test device, dropper, and a buffer solution.

Components Needed for Testing

• CPV Ag Test Device
• Sample dropper
• Buffer solution
• Sterile swabs
• Timer

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the CPV Ag Test Kit

1. Collect the fecal sample using a sterile swab.
2. Insert the swab into the buffer solution and mix thoroughly.
3. Use the dropper to extract a sample of the mixed buffer solution.
4. Add 3 drops of the solution into the sample well on the test device.
5. Start the timer and wait for 10 minutes.

Interpretation of Test Results
