Storage and Expiry
Store in a dry environment at 4-30°C, avoid hot and sunshine, valid for 36 months. DO NOT FREEZE. Some protective measures should be taken in hot summer and cold winter to avoid high temperature or freeze-thaw.
Sample Requirement 1. The reagent can be used for serum, plasma and whole blood samples. 2. Serum, plasma and whole blood samples must be collected in a clean and dry container. EDTA, sodium citrate, heparin can be used as the anticoagulants. Recommend to detect immediately after collecting blood. If blood coagulation occurs, serum sample will be suggested to use. 3. Serum and plasma samples may be stored at 2-8°C for 1 week prior to testing, and at -20°C for 2 years. Frozen and refrigerated samples should be equilibrated to room temperature before detection and thoroughly mixed. Repeat freeze-thaw for no more than 3 times. Samples that exhibiting visible precipitates, stink or muddy should not be used. 4. Whole blood sample with anticoagulants may be stored at 2-8°C for 24 hours, and should be used immediately without anticoagulants.
DO NOT FREEZE. Mix the sample well by gentle inversion of the tube immediately before testing.
Test Procedure Instruction for use must be read entirely before taking the test. Allow the reagent to equilibrate to room temperature for 30 minutes (10-30°C) prior to testing. Do not open the inner packaging until ready, it must be used in one hour if opened (Humidity≤60%, Temp: 10-30°C). Please use immediately when the humidity exceed to 60%.
Whole blood: 1. Remove the cassette from the sealed pouch, and put it onto the desk with the sample well up. 2. Add 1 drop (40-50µL) of sample vertically into the sample well of cassette, and immediately add 1 drop (35-50μL) sample diluent vertically. 3. Observe the test result immediately within 15 minutes, the result is invalid over 15 minutes.
Serum/plasma: 1. Remove the cassette from the sealed pouch, and put it onto the desk with the sample well up. 2. Add 20µL of sample vertically into the sample well of cassette, and immediately add 2 drops (70-100μL) sample diluent vertically. 3. Observe the test result immediately within 15 minutes, the result is invalid over 15 minutes. Note: The diagram is for reference only. See the real object for details. The appearance and color of reagent components may be different from the actual product, which has no effect on normal use.
Result Explanation
Positive: Two distinct colored lines appear. One line should be in the control line region (C) and another line should be in the test line region (T).
Negative: One colored line appears in the control line region (C). No line appears in the test line region (T).
Invalid: The result is invalid if no colored line appears in the control line region (C), even if a line appears in the test line region (T). You should repeat the test with a new test reagent.
