IDEXX SNAP* Foal IgG Test Kit
\ue000
Overview
The SNAP* Foal IgG Test is an enzyme immunoassay \ue001or semi-quantitative detection
o\ue001 immunoglobulin G (IgG) in equine serum, plasma or whole blood. Diluted whole
blood, serum or plasma and conjugate reagent are added to the SNAP* device.
The device is then activated, releasing reagents stored within the device. Color
development on the sample spot o\ue001 the device is proportional to IgG concentration
in the test sample. Calibrator spots on the device develop color corresponding to
sample IgG levels o\ue001 400 mg/dL and 800 mg/dL. Comparison o\ue001 the intensities o\ue001 color
development on the sample spot and the calibrator spots allows an assessment o\ue001
IgG level in the test sample. Color development on the calibrator spots indicates that
the assay reagents are active.
Kit Components
\u2022 5 or 10 bottles o\ue001 sample diluent
\u2022 5 or 10 bottles o\ue001 anti-equine IgG conjugate, preserved with gentamicin
\u2022 5 or 10 SNAP Foal IgG devices, containing substrate solution and wash solution
\u2022 10 or 20 sample loops
Storage
SNAP devices and test reagents are stable until the expiration dates when stored at
2\u00b0\u20137\u00b0C (36\u00b0\u201345\u00b0F). Do not allow SNAP devices or test reagents to \ue001reeze.
Precautions and Warnings
\u2022 Use a separate sample diluent bottle and sample loop \ue001or each test. For whole-
blood samples, use two separate sample loops \ue001or each test. Do not reuse sample
loops.
\u2022 The bioactive spots on the SNAP device are dyed \ue001or quality-control purposes.
This dye washes out during the test and does not inter\ue001ere with the test result or
interpretation.
\u2022 The SNAP device must be in a horizontal position on a \ue000at sur\ue001ace while the test is
per\ue001ormed.
\u2022 Do not use a SNAP device that has been activated prior to the addition o\ue001 a sample.
\u2022 Do not expose the SNAP device to extreme light a\ue001ter activation.
\u2022 Do not mix components \ue001rom kits with di\ue001\ue001erent lot numbers.
\u2022 Do not use components past their expiration dates.
Instructions \ue001or Use
\u2022 Kit reagents and devices must be at 7\u00b0\u201329\u00b0C (45\u00b0\u201385\u00b0F) when used.
\u2022 Whole blood, serum or plasma can be used.
\u2022 Whole blood must be anticoagulated with EDTA or heparin, and can be used either
\ue001resh or re\ue001rigerated at 2\u00b0\u20137\u00b0C (36\u00b0\u201345\u00b0F) \ue001or up to one week.
\u2022 Serum or plasma can be used \ue001resh or stored at 2\u00b0\u20137\u00b0C (36\u00b0\u201345\u00b0F) \ue001or up to 14 days.
\u2022 Hemolyzed samples will not a\ue001\ue001ect results. EDTA or heparin in whole-blood and
plasma samples will not a\ue001\ue001ect results.
