African Swine Fever Test Kit

The African Swine Fever Test Kits is a veterinarian diagnostic tool used to check for viral antigens of the African Swine Fever virus (ASFV) in the serum, plasma, and whole blood of swine. This ready-to-use kit delivers results within 10 to 15 minutes, which makes it ideal for lab or field tests.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a severe disease caused by a DNA virus within the Asfarviridae family of viruses. After infection, the virus is present in all secretions and tissues of the animal. As it can be quickly spread through soft ticks and other contact, controlling outbreaks before they affect an entire herd is recommended.

This African Swine Fever Test Kit utilizes sandwich lateral immunoassays to detect the antigens within the specimen.

Specimen

For living animals, a whole blood specimen should be collected. If dealing with deceased animals, a tissue sample should be taken from either the liver or spleen.

The cotton swab has to be placed in a buffer dilution immediately after the sample has been collected. To initiate the test, it is necessary to place the buffer dilution drops onto a specified area on the test cassette.

The test cassette, needs to be used precisely as instructed to ensure accurate results. Always ensure the sterility of the environment and the tools when handling and applying the sample to the test strip to prevent any cross-contamination or false readings.

Form

The Cassette consists of a plastic box that contains the test strip inside. It has an area for sample placement and a window in which the lines will be displayed as a positive, negative or invalid test result.

The test strip includes reagents that respond to the African Swine Fever virus (ASFV) in the sample.
