Description
The Bionote Vcheck FPV Ab kit is a professional veterinary diagnostic tool used for the semi-quantitative detection of antibodies (IgG) against Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV) in a cat's serum or plasma. This chromatographic immunoassay helps veterinarians assess a cat's immune status, which can indicate a past infection or the response to a vaccination. The results are read by the Vcheck Analyzer, providing valuable information for clinical decision-making regarding feline health and vaccination protocols.
Semi-Quantitative Results: This test provides a semi-quantitative measurement of Feline Panleukopenia Virus antibodies, which helps in evaluating the level of immune response in cats. For Feline Use: Specifically designed and validated for detecting IgG antibodies to FPV in feline serum or plasma. Chromatographic Immunoassay: Utilizes highly selective antigens as both capture and detector components for a high degree of accuracy in detecting the target antibodies. Analyzer Dependent: This test requires the use of the Bionote Vcheck Analyzer to read and interpret the results from the test device. Comprehensive Kit: The pack includes test devices, assay diluent tubes, anticoagulant tubes, and pipette tips for conducting the tests.
Q: What is the Bionote Vcheck FPV Ab kit used for?
A: This kit is a chromatographic immunoassay designed for the semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV) in a cat's serum or plasma. It helps a veterinarian assess a cat's immune status concerning this virus, either from vaccination or previous exposure.
Q: Who should perform this test?
A: This is a diagnostic tool intended for professional veterinary use only and should be performed and interpreted by a qualified veterinarian or veterinary technician in a clinical setting.
Q: What sample is required for this test?
A: The test requires a sample of feline serum or plasma. Some instructions also mention the possibility of using whole blood.
Q: How does the test work?
A: The kit uses a rapid immunochromatographic method. When a sample containing FPV antibodies is applied, it reacts with antigens on the test strip, producing a visible line that indicates the presence and level of antibodies. The results are often read by a Vcheck analyzer for a semi-quantitative measurement.
Q: Does this kit diagnose an active Feline Panleukopenia infection?
A: No, this kit detects the presence of antibodies (Ab) to the virus, which indicates a past immune response from vaccination or exposure. To detect an active infection, a veterinarian would typically use an antigen (Ag) test, which looks for the virus itself in samples like feces.

Direction for Use/Dosage
For professional veterinary use only. All reagents and samples must be at room temperature (15-30°C) before testing. 1. Using a 5ul pipette, collect the feline serum or plasma sample and dispense it into the provided FPV diluent tube. 2. Mix the sample within the diluent tube using a 100ul pipette. 3. Collect 100ul of the mixed, diluted sample and dispense it onto the sample well of the FPV test cartridge. 4. Allow the test cartridge to incubate for 10 minutes. 5. After incubation, insert the test cartridge into the Bionote Vcheck Analyzer to read the results. Consult the product's instructions for use for complete details.
