Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) decreases the function of the immune system of cats. FIV-infected cats are susceptible to other types of infections that can affect other parts of the body, including the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, urethra, and skin. They also increased the risk of developing blood cancer. The RIDX^® FIV Ab Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of FIV antibodies in feline blood. This kit shows two letters which are the test (T) line and the control (C) line on the surface of the device. If the FIV antibody exists in the sample, it binds to the gold-conjugated protein A. The antibody-protein A complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the FIV antigen 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. The high-quality recombinant FIV antigen (p24) is used as capture in the kit. RIDX^® FIV Ab Test Kit can detect FIV antibodies in feline blood with high accuracy.

1. All test components and samples must be at room temperature (15~30℃/59~86℉) before use.
2. Take 10μL of blood sample (the anticoagulated whole blood, serum, or plasma) using a capillary tube.
3. Add 10μL of sample into the sample hole (S).
4. Add 2 drops of the sample dilution buffer into the sample hole on the device.
5. Read test result at 10 minutes.
