Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a tick-borne RNA virus belonging to the genus Bandavirus in the family Phenuiviridae. SFTSV is primarily affecting humans, but it also plays a significant role in domestic animals like dogs and cats. The RIDX^® Canine Feline SFTSV Ag Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of SFTSV in canine or feline whole blood or plasma. This kit shows two letters which are the test (T) line and the control (C) line on the surface of the device. If the SFTSV antigen exists in the sample, it binds to the gold-conjugated anti-SFTSV antibody. The antigen-antibody complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the secondary anti-SFTSV antibody on the test line, resulting in a red line. The control line indicates that the test is performed correctly and should appear when the test is complete. Two different monoclonal antibodies to SFTSV are used as a capture and detector in the kit. The RIDX^® Canine Feline SFTSV Ag Test Kit can detect SFTSV in whole blood or plasma samples from dogs or cats with high accuracy.

• 10 Tests/Kit [CGM-VSG-11]

1. All test components and samples must be at room temperature (15~30°C/59~86℉) before use.
2. Take 20 μL of the anticoagulated whole blood using capillary tube. Or Take 10 μL of the plasma using micropipette. (Micropipette and tips are not included in this kit.)
3. Apply the taken sample into the sample hole (S).
4. Apply 3 drops (approximately 100 μL) of the dilution buffer into the sample hole on the device.
5. Read test results at 15 minutes.
