Test Procedure:
  1. Remove the test device from the protective pouch and label it with patient or control identifications.
  2. Mix the sample with extraction buffer and dispense 3-4 drops (approximately 150µL) into the round sample well.
  3. Wait for colored lines to appear, reading results after 15 minutes and no later than 30 minutes.
Test Results:
  • A positive result is indicated by one colored line in the control area and one in the specimen area.
  • A negative result is indicated by a colored line only in the control area.
