TEST PRINCIPLE

The WITNESS® PARVO test is a simple test, based Rapid Immuno Migration (RIMTM) technology, which detects the presence of canine parvovirus antigen in canine faeces. Sensitized particles bound to the CPV antigen present within the sample (faecal extract) migrate along a membrane. The complex is then captured on a sensitized reaction zone where its accumulation causes the formation of a clearly visible purple band. A purple band in the control window ensures that the test was performed correctly.

SAMPLE INFORMATION AND STORAGE

48 hours. If longer storage is required the samples may be frozen at -20°C.
