SNAP Lepto Test

This treatment applies to the following species:

Dogs

Company: Idexx Labs.

Canine Leptospira Antibody Test Kit

For veterinary use only.

SNAP* Lepto

In vitro diagnostic for the detection of anti-Leptospira antibodies in canine serum.

Precautions and warnings

● All wastes should be properly decontaminated prior to disposal.

● Do not mix components from kits with different serial numbers.

● Do not use a SNAP device that has been activated prior to the addition of sample.

● This test kit cannot differentiate between antibodies to pathogenic and nonpathogenic serovars of Leptospira.

● This test kit cannot differentiate between antibodies produced as a result of a natural infection with the organism and those produced by vaccination.

● Refer to country specific Material Safety Data Sheet for regional hazard identification.

Storage

● Store at 2-8°C until expiration date.

● All components must be at room temperature (18-25°C) before running the test.

Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Avoid breathing mist/vapors. Wear eye protection/face protection. Wear protective gloves. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Sample information

● Samples must be at room temperature 18-25°C before beginning the test procedure.

● Serum, either fresh or stored at 2-8°C for up to one week, can be used.

● For longer storage, serum can be frozen (-20°C or colder) and then recentrifuged before use.

● Hemolyzed or lipemic samples will not affect test results.

Test procedure

1. Allow all components to equilibrate at room temperature 18-25°C for 30 minutes before use. Do not heat.

2. Using the pipette provided, dispense 3 drops of sample into a new sample tube.

3. Holding the bottle vertical, add 4 drops of conjugate to the sample tube.

4. Cap the sample tube and mix it thoroughly by inverting it 3-5 times.

5. Place the device on a horizontal surface. Add the entire contents of the sample tube to the sample well, being careful not to splash the contents outside of the sample well.

The sample will flow across the result window, reaching the activation circle in 30-60 seconds. Some sample may remain in the sample well.

6. When color FIRST appears in the activation circle, push the activator firmly until it is flush with the device body.

Note: Some samples may not flow to the activation circle within 60 seconds, and therefore, the circle may not turn color. In this case, press the activator after the sample has flowed across the result window.

7. Read test result at 10 minutes.

Note: The positive control may develop sooner, but results are not complete until 10 minutes.

Interpreting The Test Results

Positive Result

Any color development in the sample spots indicates the presence of anti-Leptospira antibody in the sample.

Negative Result

Only positive control spot develops color.

Invalid results

● Background - If the sample is allowed to flow past the activation circle, background color may result. Some background color is normal. However, if colored background obscures test result, repeat the test.

● No color development - If the positive control does not develop color, repeat the test.
