TEST INSTRUCTION
Further information
The Fassisi FeLV Test is a rapid immunochromatographic test that detects an inner body protein of the feline leukemia virus (p27) in whole blood, serum and plasma. This test does not detect antibodies, it directly detects a part of the virus.
However, the test is not only useful to identify an existing disease. It can also be used before vaccinations to exclude a disease and to make the right decision about a vaccination.
The positive predictive rating of the Fassisi FELV test is very high. False positive results are very unlikely, it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that a positive result is due to an infection by the feline leukemia virus.
Also available from us: the Fassisi FeLFIV for double testing for FeLV antigen and FIV antibody in only one test cassette.
Note that the test has a “competitive” test setup. This means that in the case of a positive test result, e.g. with a high TT4 level (> 80 ng/ml) and a correspondingly strong hyperthyroidism, no test lines are visible in the evaluation field. In case of a negative test result, i.e. a TT4 level < 40 ng/ml, both test lines can be seen.
The detection limits of the Fassisi T4 test are based on the recommendations for the drug Vidalta® from MSD (Vidalta® 10 mg for diagnosed mild hyperthyroidism and Vidalta® 15 mg for diagnosed severe hyperthyroidism).
The Fassisi T4 test was tested based on the laboratory standard by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover and has been confirmed as a test.
