Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite that infects warm-blooded animals. Felines are the only definitive hosts of the parasite. Infected cats can transmit the disease to humans and other animals.
The RIDX^® Toxoplasma Ab Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Toxoplasma 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 Toxoplasma antibody exists in the sample, it binds to the gold-conjugated recombinant Toxoplasma antigen. The antibody-antigen complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the Toxoplasma 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 T. gondii antigen [surface antigen 1 (SAG1: p30) + dense granule protein (GRA1: p24)] is used as capture and detector in the kit. The RIDX^® Toxoplasma Ab Test Kit can detect Toxoplasma antibodies in feline blood with high accuracy.

Feline blood (whole blood, serum, or plasma)

• 10 Tests/Kit [CGM-VTB-11]
• 2 Tests/Kit [CGM-VTB-12]

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