WSSV RP Rapid Test Kit – Innocreate Bioscience

Description

Principle

The test device contains a membrane strip, which is pre-coated with anti-WSSV antibody on the test line (T) and control antibody on the control (C) line. Gold conjugate (binds to the WSSV) moves upward on the membrane chromatographically and reacts with pre-coated anti-WSSV antibody. For a positive result, gold conjugate and anti-WSSV antibody will form a test line in the result window.

Features & Benefits

Rapid detection - test results available within 15 minutes.
Easy to use – no other consumables, equipment, and professional training required.
High sensitivity – low copy number of virus can be detected.
Registered and avlidated as a diagnostic kit according to WOAH (World Organisation for Animal Health) procedures with approval number 082132.
