Product Overview

The Rabbit Giardia Ag Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of Giardia duodenalis antigen (GIA Ag) in rabbit feces. Results can be read visually or further analyzed with a dry immunoassay analyzer for semi-quantitative grading.

Suitable for:

🐰 Rabbits at risk of infection 🏥 Veterinary clinics & animal hospitals 🐾 Rabbit farms & breeding facilities 🔬 Field screening

Key Features

🎯 Dual reading modes	Visual judgment, or analysis with VETSEE G2 Dry Immunoassay Analyzer
🧬 Target	Giardia duodenalis antigen
⚡ 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	5T 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 giardia duodenalis 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 the target 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 rabbit fresh feces with the swab from the rabbit 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 the treated sample.
4	Apply sample — remove the test card from the foil pouch, place it flat, and transfer 4 drops of the treated sample into the sample well.
5	Read result — start the timer and read the result at 5–10 minutes. Do not move the test card during testing. If there is no flow within 30 seconds, add 1 drop more of the sample.

* 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 (+)	Target detected. 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; repeat with a new test card.

With the analyzer, the result can be classified into five phases: negative (-), suspicious (+/-), weak positive (+), positive (++) and strong positive (+++), according to the GIA load. A suspicious (+/-) result is indeterminate and repeat testing is recommended.

* 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	Rabbit 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). 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.
