Feline HERPES Test for Cats – Type-1 Herpesvirus (FHV) Antigen Home Test Kit – LFIA

The Feline Herpes Type-1 test requires cat’s ocular, nasal, or anus secretions.
It can also be performed using a serum or plasma sample.

For testing, you will need one of the following:

• One swab of secretions
• 3–10 drops of serum or plasma (a larger sample of serum/plasma makes testing easier)

Each kit contains:

• Test cassette
• Disposable dropper
• Buffer liquid tubes
• Cotton swab stick
• Instructions Leaflet (one for every 10 tests)
• Color box packaging (one for every 10 tests)

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE:

100-pack includes:
– 100 sealed test cassettes
– 100 disposable droppers (inside the sealed cassette pouch)
– 100 buffer liquid tubes (packed in boxes of 10)
– 100 swab sticks (packed in pouches of 10)
– 10 instruction leaflets (one for every 10 tests)
– 10 color box packages (one for every 10 tests)

50-pack includes:
– 50 sealed test cassettes
– 50 disposable droppers (inside the sealed cassette pouch)
– 50 buffer liquid tubes (packed in boxes of 10)
– 50 swab sticks (packed in pouches of 10)
– 5 instruction leaflets (one for every 10 tests)
– 5 color box packages (one for every 10 tests)

20-pack includes:
– 20 sealed test cassettes
– 20 disposable droppers (inside the sealed cassette pouch)
– 20 buffer liquid tubes (packed in boxes of 10)
– 20 swab sticks (packed in pouches of 10)
– 2 instruction leaflets (one for every 10 tests)
– 2 color box packages (one for every 10 tests)

If using a secretions sample, no additional equipment is needed—everything required is included in the test kit.

If using a serum or plasma sample, a syringe and centrifuge are required (syringes are NOT included in the kit).

1. Read the instructions carefully before starting the test.
2. Secretions sample: collect cat’s ocular, nasal, anal gland secretions, or saliva with the cotton swab. Make the swab sufficiently wet.
   Serum or plasma sample: collect a blood sample from the cat (syringes are NOT included). Centrifuge whole blood to obtain plasma or place it in a tube with anticoagulants to obtain serum.
   Once the sample is ready the FHV test takes 10–15 minutes to complete.
3. Prepare the test: Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and place it on a flat surface.
4. Secretions sample: insert the swab stick into the tube containing the buffer liquid and mix thoroughly to ensure proper sample extraction. Then, transfer 3 drops of the sample mixture into the S (sample) window of the test cassette.
   Serum or plasma sample: Using the enclosed dropper add 1 drop of the prepared specimen into buffer liquid tube and mix well. Then immediately place 3 drops (approx. 120 μL) of the diluted sample into the S (sample) window of the test cassette.
5. Wait 5–10 minutes and read the results.

The test is valid for 16 months or more from the date of purchase.
