Product Overview

The Feline Giardia lamblia-Tritrichomonas Ag Combo Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay designed for the rapid differential diagnosis of these pathogens by detecting antigens of Giardia lamblia and Tritrichomonas foetus in feline feces, from a single specimen collection.

Suitable for:

🐈 Cats at risk of infection 🏥 Veterinary clinics & animal hospitals 🐾 Rescue centers & shelters 🔬 Field screening

Key Features

🎯 Multi-marker panel	Up to 2 analytes in one test — single specimen, one preparation
🧬 Target	Giardia lamblia and Tritrichomonas foetus antigens
⚡ Fast result	5–10 minutes
🔬 Highly selective	Target-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 is based on sandwich method lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test card features 2 testing windows, each containing a T (test) zone and a C (control) zone that are initially invisible before the assay. When the treated sample is applied, the liquid flows laterally across the NC membrane of each test strip, interacting with pre-coated target-specific reagents respectively. The presence of target analytes in the sample results in a visible T line, while the appearance of the C line indicates a successful assay.

Test Procedure

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

NOTE: In case of no flow in 30 seconds, add 1 more drop of the sample.

Result Interpretation

C line	T line	Result	Interpretation
Visible	Visible	Positive (+)	Target detected in the corresponding testing window. Any faintly visible T line is considered positive when the C line is present.
Visible	Not visible	Negative (−)	No target detected.
No line	Any	Invalid	Test failed in the corresponding window; 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	Feline feces.
Q	How long until the result?
A	5–10 minutes after adding the sample.
Q	Do I need an instrument?
A	No instrument is required for Method 1 (visual interpretation).
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.
