This Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 test requires samples of ocular, nasal, or anal secretions, saliva, or serum/plasma.Our Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 tests for cats are designed for at-home use and do not necessitate additional equipment.
These tests are grounded in the principles of lateral flow immunochromatography, aiming to qualitatively detect Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 antigen (FHV-1), the causative agent of feline viral rhinotracheitis, in samples from a cat's ocular, nasal, or anal swab, as well as in serum or plasma.
The Feline Herpesvirus test for cats is based on a sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The test device features a testing window with both the T (test) and C (control) zones. When the cat's sample is applied to the device, the liquid laterally traverses the test strip, reacting with pre-coated monoclonal antibodies. If there is Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 antigen in the specimen, a visible T line will manifest. The presence of the C line after applying the sample always indicates a valid result. Consequently, the device accurately determines the presence or absence of Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 antigen in the sample.
Results are obtainable within 5-10 minutes.
Reviews
I did the test when my cat's left eye had excessive tear drainage. The last time we had a vet visit, my vet had mentioned that there's a possibility that she could have the herpes virus because of her tear drainage in one eye. This test came back negative! I have one more test and I will do it again soon to confirm the negative result. If you have ever done a diagnostic covid test, this is a similar type of test process. I'm happy with the simplicity of it and so was my cat! 😻
The product came in actually a day earlier than expected! It shipped very promptly. I used all 10 and they were very easy. I will be ordering those and some others later on
Easy to follow instructions! Really helps me get instant results rather than going to the vet for all testing. Thank you!
Very easy to use and results within 10 minutes . No stressful travel vets office!
