Avian Influenza Test Kit

The Avian Influenza Test Kit is a diagnostic tool used to detect avian influenza virus (AIV) in avian species, including poultry. This ready-to-use kit delivers accurate results within 15 minutes and is a convenient option for veterinarians, poultry farmers, and other poultry production professionals.

Avian Influenza is highly contagious and circulates quickly among a flock; the virus can be spread through contaminated surfaces, including equipment and workers. Some strains of Avian Influenza have a high mortality rate, though others may not have any clinical symptoms. Due to this variance in possible symptoms, testing is essential for the early detection of the disease and reduction of the impact on the flock and farm.

Avian Influenza Test Kit is a immunochromatographic immunoassay. It indicates the presence of certain nucleoproteins of Influenza Type A viruses.

Avian Influenza Test Kits are manufactured and produced by AdvaCare Pharma, a pharmaceutical company specializing in global distribution. Our focus on quality has made AdvaCare a market leader in many countries.

Specimen

A specimen should be collected from the trachea or cloacal secretions of the birds using a cotton swab provided in a sterile blister pack. For an accurate test outcome, the swab should be sufficiently saturated.

The cotton swab has to be placed in a buffer dilution immediately after the sample has been collected. To continue with the test, it is necessary to administer the drops of buffer dilution onto a specific area of the test cassette.

Form

The Cassette comprises a plastic case with the test strip inside. Within the cassette, there is a designated space for sample placement and a viewing window to display the test lines as positive, negative, or invalid results.

The test strip contains specific reagents designed to detect the presence of the avian influenza virus (AIV) in the sample.

How is an Avian Influenza Test Kit used?

This diagnostic test uses a sample, which is mixed with a buffer and administered to a test strip on a cassette for a result.

Use the cotton swab to collect a sample (trachea or cloacal secretion) and place the sample in the buffer. Tracheal samples should be obtained from the area behind the bird's tongue, and cloacal samples should try to avoid any feces or blood, as these may interfere with the results of the test.

If possible, the specimen should be tested immediately after collection. If immediate testing is not available, keep the specimen refrigerated (2-8°C) for up to 48 hours.

Refer to the insert/packaging to confirm the exact methodology, steps and interpretation of results.

How are Avian Influenza Test Kits stored?
