The CDV-Ab test is a fluorescence immunoassay designed for use with an Immunofluorescence Analyzer. It quantitatively determines distemper virus antibody (CDV-Ab) concentration in serum or plasma. This test helps assess CDV-Ab titer levels following pet vaccinations, guiding whether re-vaccination is necessary. Additionally, it supports diagnosing and monitoring canine distemper virus infections.
For in vitro diagnostic use only. Professional use only.
The test uses a quantitative double-antigen sandwich fluorescence immunoassay technique.
Fluorescent signal intensity correlates with the amount of CDV-Ab captured, with results expressed in Tu/ml.

Store the kit at 4–30℃ up to the expiration date.
Operate the test between 18–28℃ after opening the pouch.
Perform the test within 30 minutes of opening the pouch.
The test can be used with serum or plasma (EDTA anticoagulant recommended).
Separate serum or plasma within 3 hours of blood collection. Avoid severely hemolyzed specimens.
Test immediately after collection. If testing is delayed beyond 3 hours, store at 2–8℃ for up to 72 hours, or below -20℃ for long-term storage.
Bring specimens to room temperature before testing. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Refer to the Immunofluorescence Analyzer Operation Manual for complete instructions.
Place the Test Device on a clean, level surface.
Insert the ID Chip into the analyzer and confirm the lot numbers match.
Add 20 μl of sample to the CDV-Ab Sample Buffer and mix gently.
Transfer 100 μl of the mixture to the sample well (S) of the test device.
Select Test Mode:
Standard Test: Insert the test device into the analyzer immediately, select "Serum/Plasma," and start the test. Results will be displayed automatically.
Quick Test: Let the test device sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then insert it into the analyzer and start the test.
Results will be displayed on-screen and can be printed automatically or manually.
Each test includes an internal control. If this control fails, the analyzer will display an error message, prompting a retest.
Detection Range: 4.5 ~ 640 Tu/ml
Reference Ranges:
| Result (Tu/ml) | Level | Suggestion |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 10 | 0 | No antibody protection; vaccination recommended. |
| 10 - 20 | 1 | Weak protection; supplementary immunization suggested. |
| 20 - 50 | 2 | Weak protection; immunization adjustment recommended. |
| 50 - 100 | 3 | Moderate protection; monitor every 6 months. |
| 100 - 200 | 4 | Moderate protection; monitor every 6 months. |
| > 200 | 5 | Strong protection; test annually to ensure vaccine coverage. |
Note: If a pet has not been vaccinated but shows a level above 1, past infection is possible. Each laboratory should establish its own reference range based on the population being tested.
For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Check the packaging for damage before use. Do not use damaged test devices.
Do not use expired test devices.
Use a new pipette tip for each sample.
Potential factors such as technical errors or unknown substances in blood specimens may interfere with test accuracy.
