Canine distemper virus (CDV) affects a canine’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and central nervous systems, as well as the conjunctival membranes of the eye. The virus spreads rapidly and must be immediately treated as soon as it’s discovered.
RIDX CDV Ag Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of CDV antigens in canine eye discharged. This kit shows two letters which are the test (T) line and the control (C) line on the surface of the device. If the CDV antigen exists in the sample, it binds to the gold-conjugated anti-CDV antibody. The antigen-antibody complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the anti-CDV antibody on the test line, resulting in a red line. The control line indicates that the test is performed correctly and should appear when the test is complete.
The highly selective and sensitive monoclonal antibody to CDV is used as a capture and detector in the kit. RIDX CDV Ag Test Kit can detect CDV antigens in canine eye discharge (conjunctiva) with high accuracy.

TEST PROCEDURE
1. All reagents must be at room temperature (15~30℃/59~86℉) before use.
2. Collect conjunctiva sample using a swab.
3. Insert the swab into the sample dilution tube and mix the swab until the sample has been dissolved into the sample dilution buffer (approximately 10 seconds).
4. Remove the swab from the sample dilution buffer.
