What is the Felv/Fiv DFV test and what is it used for? The Dfv Test Felv/Fiv is an immunochromatographic diagnostic kit for cats that can detect the presence of viruses that cause Leishmania, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma. This test detects the p27 antigens of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and antibodies produced against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in cat blood, plasma, or serum. The assay uses double immunochromatography, allowing for quick and easy results. This Dfv method is highly reliable, as it has been designed with high technology to achieve optimal and highly accurate results, guaranteeing early detection of these health problems in felines. When a cat is infected with FeLV or FIV, its immune system produces high levels of p27 and FIV antibodies, making them detectable in its blood. Therefore, a reading with this Dfv test will detect the presence of one or both viruses. If the test is positive, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian to provide safe and effective treatment for the animal. When performing the test, it is recommended to use serum, anticoagulated blood, or plasma samples, avoiding blood samples with clots or that are highly hemolyzed. Once the diagnostic test is activated, the results will be available in exactly 10 minutes. Who is it for? The test to detect FeLV and FIV in cats is indicated for all types of cats with viral symptoms, ideal for obtaining an early diagnosis of feline leukemia and immunodeficiency. Instructions for use Open the kit when you are about to perform the test and place the device on a smooth, stable surface. Use the pipette to take a sample and fill to the marked line (20 μl). Then, place it in the well. Repeat the steps for the other well. Pour the entire contents of one of the vials with the buffer solution into a small well and repeat the procedure for the other. Time yourself using a watch. After 10 minutes, the results will be read. Contraindications Store below 30°C. No refrigeration required. Do not freeze. Protect from direct sunlight. When stored properly, the product is stable at least until the expiration date shown on the label. Composition The kit includes 1 tube with anticoagulant, 1 plastic pipette, 2 vials with buffer solution and 1 sachet with the device.
