Description
The Bionote Anigen Rapid E. Canis / Anaplasma Ab Test Kit is a chromatographic immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies for Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma species (Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma platys) in a dog's whole blood, serum, or plasma. This diagnostic tool is intended for veterinary use to aid in the identification of exposure to these tick-borne pathogens.
Dual Detection: This test qualitatively identifies antibodies for both Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma spp. in a single test.
Sample Versatility: It can be used with canine whole blood, plasma, or serum samples, offering flexibility in specimen collection.
Rapid Results: The test provides results within approximately 10-20 minutes, allowing for timely decisions.
Chromatographic Immunoassay: The test is based on a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay, a common and understood technology for point-of-care testing.
Kit Components: The kit includes test devices, assay diluents, capillary tubes, and other necessary components for performing 10 tests.
Q: What is the Bionote Anigen Rapid E. Canis / Anaplasma Ab Test Kit?
A: This is a chromatographic immunoassay test kit designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Anaplasma platys in a dog's whole blood, serum, or plasma. It is intended for veterinary diagnostic use only.
Q: What sample is needed for this test?
A: The test can be performed using a sample of canine whole blood, plasma, or serum.
Q: How long does it take to get the results?
A: The test results should be interpreted at 10 to 20 minutes after starting the test, depending on the specific instructions for the kit version.
Q: Can I use this test kit at home for my dog?
A: This test kit is intended for veterinary diagnostic use only and should be administered and interpreted by a veterinarian. A definitive clinical diagnosis should not be based on a single test result but on an evaluation of all clinical and laboratory findings by a veterinarian.
Q: What do the diseases Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis cause in dogs?
A: These are tick-borne diseases that can cause a range of signs in dogs, including fever, lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, bleeding tendencies, and painful joints. A veterinarian can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

Other Information
The kit contains 10 tests. The control line (C) should always appear for the test to be valid. The appearance of the test line (T), even if faint, along with the control line, indicates a positive result. Store the kit away from direct sunlight. If a sample contains precipitates, it should be clarified before testing.
