1. Rapid test assays identify, confirm or rule out disease in symptomatic cats and dogs by detecting antibodies or antigens.

2. Both antigen and antibody tests are highly sensitive and specific. Antigen tests compare favourably with molecular tests, whilst the antibody tests compare well with ELISA tests.

3. These tests are ideal to detect and monitor the incidence or prevalence of disease in animal populations or during epidemics.

4. Tests can be done on-site and provide results within minutes.

Rapid tests assist the veterinarian to make a more informed clinical diagnosis, specially where similar symptoms are caused by different pathogens.

5. The tests are simple  use, easily interpretable, require minimal equipment or training and are as such ideal in low-resource settings.

6. All that is required is a few drops of blood, plasma or serum. Our screening kits require little or no processing.

7. With a shelf-life of about 18 months from the date of manufacturing, tests can be stored at room temperature.
