VetScan Canine Heartworm Rapid Test Kit

The VetScan Canine Heartworm Rapid Test provides a quick and reliable way to detect Dirofilaria immitis, the parasite responsible for heartworm disease in dogs and cats. This visual, qualitative test uses a specific immunochromatographic assay to identify heartworm antigens in whole blood, serum, or plasma, at the point of care.

Directions:

• Add 1 drop of anticoagulated whole blood, serum, or plasma to the sample well.
• Add 2 drops of the provided chase buffer to the sample well.
• Read results at 10 minutes, either manually or with the VETSCAN VUE.
• A positive result is indicated by two colored lines (one at the Test area and one at the Control area).
• A negative result shows only one line at the Control area.
• If no line appears at the Control area, the test is invalid.

Cautions/Warnings:

• For veterinary use only.
• Do not use after the expiration date.
• Perform the test on a flat, horizontal surface.
• Use a separate pipette for each test.
• Properly decontaminate and dispose of all wastes.
