This Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) test, also known as Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) test, is designed for home use and requires a sample of your cat's feces or vomit. No additional equipment is necessary.
Understanding Feline Coronavirus and Feline Infectious Peritonitis:
Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) is a prevalent viral infection among cats. Often, this infection is asymptomatic, but some cats may exhibit mild diarrhea or transient gastrointestinal symptoms. In rare cases, the virus can mutate, leading to a highly fatal multisystemic disease known as Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). However, the likelihood of Feline Coronavirus progressing to FIP is approximately 10%.
How to Conduct the FCoV / FIP Test:
Our FIP tests are grounded in a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay designed to qualitatively detect Feline Coronavirus antigen (FCoV) in your cat's feces or vomit. You will need to collect a sample using the provided swab stick.
The test cassette features a testing window with both T (test) and C (control) zones. When the cat's sample is applied to the device's sample hole, the liquid laterally traverses the test strip, interacting with pre-coated monoclonal antibodies. If the specimen contains Feline Coronavirus antigen, a visible T line will appear. The presence of the C line post-sample application always confirms a valid result. This means that the device accurately confirms the presence or absence of Feline Coronavirus antigen (FCoV Ag) in the sample.
 
Results are typically available within a 5-10 minute timeframe.
