Product Overview

The Canine Distemper Virus Ag Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay designed for the detection of canine distemper virus antigen (CDV Ag) in secretions from canine eye conjunctiva, nasal cavities, anus, serum or plasma, delivering a fast, visible result in 5–10 minutes.

Suitable for:

🐕 Dogs suspected of CDV infection 🏥 Veterinary clinics & animal hospitals 🐾 Rescue centers & breeding kennels 🔬 Field screening

Key Features

🎯 Dual reading modes	Visual judgment, or analysis with VETSEE G2 Dry Immunoassay Analyzer
🐕 Multiple specimens	Eye conjunctiva, nasal cavity, anus secretions, serum or plasma
⚡ Fast result	5–10 minutes
🔬 Highly selective	CDV antigen-specific capture and gold-labeled detector antibodies
❄️ Room-temp storage	2–30 °C, no cold chain needed
📦 Flexible packs	10T kit available

Detection Principle

The test card features a testing window with an initially invisible T (test) zone and a C (control) zone. Highly selective antibodies to canine distemper virus antigen serve as the capture (T) and gold-labeled detector antibodies. When the treated sample is added to the sample well, the liquid flows laterally across the test strip. If CDV antigen is present, a visible T line appears, which can also be recognized by the VETSEE G2 analyzer. The C line must always appear after sample application, indicating proper test performance.

Test Procedure

1	Equilibrate — allow all components to equilibrate to room temperature (15–25 °C) for 10 minutes before use.
2	Collect sample — collect secretions from canine eye conjunctiva, nasal cavities or anus with the swab — the amount should cover the whole swab tip.
3	Prepare sample — insert the swab into the assay buffer tube, agitate thoroughly, and let it stand for 30–60 seconds. For serum or plasma, place 3 drops of the specimen into the assay buffer tube. Use the liquid supernatant as sample.
4	Apply sample — remove the test card from the foil pouch, place it flat, and transfer 3 drops of the treated sample into the sample well.
5	Read result — start the timer and read at 5–10 minutes. Do not move the test card during testing.

* Instrumental method (Standard Test / Quick Test) also available with the VETSEE G2 Dry Immunoassay Analyzer — see the IFU for details.

Result Interpretation

C line	T line	Result	Interpretation
Visible	Visible	Positive (+)	CDV antigen detected. Any faintly visible T line is considered positive when the C line is present.
Visible	Not visible	Negative (−)	No CDV antigen detected.
No line	Any	Invalid	Test failed; repeat with a new test card.

* The C and T lines appear as magenta-colored lines. For in vitro veterinary use only — results should be considered alongside other clinical information.

FAQ

Q	Which specimens can be tested?
A	Secretions from canine eye conjunctiva, nasal cavities, anus, or serum/plasma.
Q	How long until the result?
A	5–10 minutes after adding the sample.
Q	Do I need an instrument?
A	No — Method 1 (visual interpretation) needs no instrument. The VETSEE G2 analyzer is optional for semi-quantitative reading.
Q	What if the T line is very faint?
A	Any faintly visible T line is considered positive when the C line is present.
Q	Can the test card be reused?
A	No. Each card is for single use only.
Q	What does the C line mean?
A	The C (control) line must always appear after sample application, indicating proper test performance. No C line = invalid test, repeat.
