AffiVET® Camel MERS CoV Antigen Rapid Test Kit

Intended Use:

Qualitative detection of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) antigen in camel nasal/oral secretions.

Principle of the Assay:

Type: Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay.

Mechanism:

  • Sample added to cassette → migrates by capillary action.
  • If MERS-CoV antigens are present → form complex with pre-coated antibodies.
  • Colored T line (test) appears → positive.
  • C line (control) must always appear to confirm valid test.

Storage and Stability:

  • Temperature: 2–30 °C (room temperature or refrigerated).
  • Do not freeze.
  • Stable until expiry date printed on pouch.
  • Keep sealed until use.

Precautions:

  • Do not use after expiration or if pouch is damaged.
  • Treat all specimens as potentially infectious.
  • Use gloves and eye protection.
  • Humidity and temperature may affect results.
  • Do not reuse test components or mix lots.
  • Single-use only.

Kit Components:

  • Test Cassettes ------------------------ (10 Devices)
  • Disposable Droppers ---------------- (10 Pieces)
  • Assay Diluents ------------------------ (10 Pieces)
  • Disposable Swabs -------------------- (10 Pieces)
  • Instruction Manual ------------------- (1 Piece)

Required but not provided: Timer

Test Procedure:

  1. Bring cassette, specimen, and buffer to 15–30 °C.
  2. Open pouch and use cassette within 1 hour.
  3. Collect sample: nasal/oral secretion using provided swab (ensure sufficient wetting).
  4. Insert swab into buffer tube and mix thoroughly.
  5. Using dropper, add 3 drops (~120 µL) of extracted sample to sample well (S).
  6. Start timer and read at 15 minutes (ignore results after 25 minutes).

Interpretation of Results:

  • Positive: Both C and T lines visible (T may be faint or strong). [MERS-CoV antigen detected].
  • Negative: Only C line visible. [No MERS-CoV antigen detected].
  • Invalid: No C line visible. [Test failed – repeat].

Limitations:

  • For camel application only.
  • Results should be interpreted with clinical context.
  • Confirmatory testing (e.g. PCR) recommended for verification.

Validation Data:

  • Sensitivity > 95%
  • Specificity > 95%
  • Accuracy > 95%

Cross Reactivity:

The test was evaluated using samples positive for other viruses including Coronavirus, SARS-CoV, Influenza A, Influenza B, and Camel Pox.
No cross-reactivity observed with these pathogens.
