Directions to Use:-

• Allow test device, specimen, buffer and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30 °C) prior to testing
• Remove the test device from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible
• Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour
• Place the test device on a clean and level surface
• Transfer the specimen by a pipette or a dropper
• To use a Pipette: Transfer 5 µL of serum or plasma to the specimen well of the test device, then add 2 full drops of buffer (approximately 80 µL) and start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well.
• To use a Disposable Specimen Dropper: Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen up to the Fill Line as shown in illustration (approximately 5 µL). Transfer the specimen to the specimen well of the test device, then add 2 full drops of buffer (approximately 80 µL) and start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well.
• Wait for the coloured line to appear
• The result should be read at 10 minutes
• Do not interpret the result after 30 minutes
