Principles
Giardia Test Kit is designed to detect the antigens of Giardia lamblia in
feces. Two antibodies in the kit specifically bind with different epitopes of the
antigens. After being absorbed into the cellulose pad, the antigens of Giardia lamblia
move and bind with gold-colloid complex of anti- Giardia of the conjugate pad,
forming Ab-Ag complex. This complex, then, forms Ab-Ag-Ab direct sandwich
binding with the antibody of another monoclonal anti- Giardia in the nitrocellulose
membrane. The test results can appear on Control and Test lines where the
principles of immunochromatography are applied

Characteristics

1) One-step rapid test of Giardia lamblia antigens
2) Rapid test results between 5 10 minutes
3) Expensive equipment not required
4) Easy storage and maintenance
5)iHigh-purity and high-quality materials of the test kit increases its sensitivity and
specificity.

 Materials (10 tests/kit)
1) Test -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10 units
2) Diluent (buffer) ------------------------------------------------------------- 1x 10 units
3) Disposable dropper ----------------------------------------------------------------- 10 units

4) Swabs for sample collection  ----------------------------------------------------- 10 units

Composition
Specimen well (S : for dropping), Test line (T), and Control line (C) are marked on
the device. Inside it, the strip is composed of sample pad, conjugate pad,
nitrocellulose membrane (test paper), and absorbent pad

Effect

Detection of Giardia lamblia antigens from canine or feline feces

Uses
1) Specimen
Canine or Feline feces
2) Storage of specimen
a) Store specimen at 2 ~ 8°C for use within 24 hours or at -25°C for
later use.
b) Keep the specimen at 22 ~ 25°C before use.

  3) Test procedure
a) Collect feces with a swab and put the swab into a sample tube containing 1of
buffer.
Do not use sticky or a lump of feces.
b) Swirl the buffer with the swab.
c) Drop 100  (4 drops) into the specimen well (S).
d) Read the test results within 5~10 minutes.
♠ Consider the test results as invalid after 10 minutes
4) Interpretation of the results
A purple band should appear on the control line regardless of the test result. The
presence of another band on the test line determines the result.
Control Line (C): The line should always appear regardless of the presence of
Giardia antigens. If this line does not appear, the test should be
considered invalid. This is probably because of impure buffer
and the lack of specimen. It should be tested again with new
buffer.
Test Line (T): The presence of Giardia antigens determines the test line.
1) Negative: Control line only appears

2) Positive: Both Test and Control lines appear.
3) Retesting
a) Both Test and Control lines do not appear.
b) Test line only appears.
5) Further examinations
This test is for primary screening. Consult veterinarians for further necessary
examinations to obtain clinical test results

Precautions
1) Use for In-vitro diagnostic purposes only.
2) Use within 10 minutes after opening the pouch because the test kit is very sensitive 
to moisture and its effect may diminish. 
3) Be careful of not touching the result window.
4) Every specimen should be used with different droppers.  
5) For testing, buffer included only should be used. 
6) Deal with specimen carefully. They can deliver unknown virus or infectious
bacteria.
7) Use disposable gloves when you suspect the infection cause by specimen. And
wash your hands later.
8) Dispose solid wastes after sterilizing them at 121°C for over 1 hour.
9) Do not use the kit when its pouch is torn, sealing is not good shape and expiration
date passes

Storage method
The test kits store at 2 ~ 30°C can be used for 18 months after manufacturing. Do not
keep them in a refrigerator. However, if they are stored under cold circumstances,
keep them at room temperature for 15 ~ 30 minutes before use.

 Exchange
The test kits are manufactured under strict quality control system. Nevertheless, if
they deteriorate during delivery, ask our distributors for exchange.
