Intended Use

This kit is used to qualitative detection feline coronavirus (FCOV) antigen in feline feces, and can be used for screening and assisting diagnosis of feline coronavirus infection.

Principle

Feline Coronavirus Antigen Rapid Test Kit was used to qualitatively detection feline coronavirus  in cat feces by colloidal gold immunochromatography. The feline coronavirus  antibody is coated on the nitrocellulose membrane. If the sample contains feline coronavirus , the virus will bind to the feline coronavirus  monoclonal antibody coated with colloidal gold on the gold label mat to form an antibody-antigen complex. When this complex was chromatographed to the detection line of the membrane (T line), it was combined with another feline coronavirus  monoclonal antibody to form an “antibody-antigen-antibody” sandwich complex and gradually agglutinated into a visible T line. The unconjugated colloidal gold antibody was chromatographed to the T line and captured by the quality control line (C line) and formed a visible C line. The test results were displayed through the C line and T line. If the sample contains feline coronavirus, the T-line shows a red band; If the sample does not contain feline coronavirus, the T line does not show a  red band. The C line shows a red color band regardless of whether the sample contains feline coronavirus.
