Canine Parvovirus

Antigen Test Kit

An easy to use immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of canine parvovirus antigen in canine feces.

Available Sizes: 5 tests

  1. Collect the samples from canine feces using the swab. It is recommended to only cover 2/3 of the swab with feces.
  2. Insert the swab into the specimen tube containing 1ml of assay diluent.
  3. Mix the swab samples with the assay diluent to extract well.
  4. Remove the test device from the foil pouch, and place it on a flat and dry surface.
  5. Use the disposable dropper provided to take the samples from extracted and mixed specimens in the tube.
  6. Add four (4) drops into the sample hole using the disposable dropper. The mixed assay diluent should be added exactly, slowly, drop by drop.
  7. As the test begins to work, you will see a purple color move across the result window in the center of the test device. If the migration has not appeared after 1 minute, add one more drop of the mixed assay diluent to the sample well.
  8. Interpret test results at 5 – 10 minutes. Do not decide after 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vaccination cannot interfere and will not give a false positive result using our test. Professor Ronald Schultz at the University of Wisconsin has performed a study in which he demonstrated that parvovirus shedding in the feces after vaccination is below the level of detection of hemagglutination assay, the gold standard laboratory method for detection of parvovirus.

Most likely, you have used too large of a fecal sample. This makes the mixture in the tube too dense to correctly flow through the test cassette. Please click the “Swab Test Amount” tab (above) to see the ideal fecal sample amount.

It is recommended to only cover 2/3 of the swab with feces.
