Uranotest Dirofilariosis

Detection of antigen Dirofilariasis immitis in blood, serum or plasma.

Innovative one-step technique. 2 drops of sample are sufficient. No need to add reactive agents. Savings in time, fewer errors. Detects male and female parasites. Detects infestations with a load of only 1 adult parasite of any type (males, adult females, immature females, females that have not spread).

Formats available: 1 and 10 tests.

Specs

Characteristics

  • 14 Kda antigen detection not related to the parasite’s feminine genital apparatus, so it detects both male and female parasites.
  • Detects infestations with a load of only 1 adult parasite of any type (males, adult females, immature females).
  • Innovate one-step technique: 3 drops of sample are enough, with no need to add reactive agents.

Information for the veterinarian

The URANOTEST Dirofilaria diagnostic kit is based on the immunochromatographic technique and is designed for the qualitative detection of Dirofilaria immitis (D. immitis) in feline and canine whole blood, serum and plasma. The test uses specific antibodies to identify D. immitis antigens with high sensitivity.

The test consists of several overlapped membranes. On one of the membranes, there are a test line (T line) and control line (C line). The lines are not visible before applying the sample. After applying the sample in the appropriate sample well, migration begins by capillarity action through the membrane. If the result is negative, one purple colour band appears in the C area. This line, called control line, always appears, as it is a control line indicating that the test has successfully performed. If the test result is positive, in addition to the control line, a second line will form in the test area (Test line).

  1. Test devices individually packaged in aluminium pouch.
  2. Dropper bottle with buffer solution.
  3. Disposable capillary pipettes for sample collection. The dark band present in the capillary indicates the volume needed to run the test.
  1. Vials with anticoagulant (EDTA) for blood collection..
  2. Instructions for use.
  1. For veterinary use only.
  2. Wear disposable gloves when handling the samples. All samples should be treated as potentially infectious. Wash and disinfect hands after handling. Avoid aerosol formation when dispensing the sample.
  3. To obtain good results, it is important to add the correct sample volume.
  4. Open the device just before use.
  5. All reagents must be at room temperature before performing the test.
  6. Do not use the test if the envelope is damaged or broken.
  7. Do not re-use.
  8. 8 – Do not use reagents after the expiry date.
  9. The quality of each component of the kit has been individually assessed for each batch. Do not mix components or reagents from kits with different batch numbers.
