Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Adenovirus Test Kits.
Adenovirus Test Kit checks for the presence of double-stranded DNA viruses originally discovered in the adenoid tissue. These viruses result in infections of the respiratory system, conjunctiva, and gastrointestinal tract. Currently, adenovirus is the second most prevalent cause of viral gastroenteritis in children. The infection can result in diarrhea, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and others. The main symptom of adenovirus is diarrhea, which can last up to 9 to 12 days and is usually accompanied by fever and vomiting.
There are presently 47 known serotypes of adenovirus that all share a common hexon antigen. Adenovirus Test Kits detect the presence of this antigen in stool samples and therefore also determines if the virus is present or not.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes for the Adenovirus Test Kit cassette to detect the specific antigen connected to the disease. An indicator line will appear on the test to indicate the presence of the antigen. If no antigens are detected or the levels of antigens are lower than the detection limit of the test, the red control line will appear in the cassette window. The test is invalid if neither the indicator line nor the red control line appears.

Additional Information
Adenovirus is a highly common infection and is estimated to be the cause of 2% to 5% of all respiratory infections. It is spread from close personal contact with an infected individual. This includes shaking hands with or touching an infected individual or being in close proximity when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Most adenovirus infections are mild and may only require simple care to relieve symptoms. Serious infections are rare.
Consult your doctors if symptoms worsen.

Usage
The Adenovirus Test Kit is administered using the human stool.
To use the Adenovirus Test Kit, apply a diluted stool sample to the cassette and wait for 5 to 10 minutes. However, bring specimens to room temperature prior to testing. The results will be visible on the window of the cassette. If adenovirus antigens are present, an indicator line will appear in the window. If the antigen is not present or the levels are lower than the detection test limit, a red control line will appear. If neither line appears, the test is invalid. Specimens with extensive particulate should be clarified by centrifugation prior to use.
Do not use specimens with fibrin particles or ones that are contaminated with microbial growth. Human stool specimens may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 7 days prior to assaying. For long-term storage, specimens should be kept frozen below -20°C. Frozen specimens must be completely thawed and mixed prior to testing. Specimens should not be frozen and thawed repeatedly. If specimens are to be shipped, they should be packed in compliance with local regulations covering the transportation of etiologic agents.
Precautions
- Standard precautions for handling infectious agents should be observed when using this kit;
- Wear standard protective clothing such as a lab coat and disposable gloves when handling specimens and assay reagents in accordance with local regulations;
- Wash hands thoroughly after use;
- In the case of wash solution contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
