Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV)

ID Screen® Rift Valley Fever Competition Multi-species

ELISA

Competitive ELISA kit for the detection of anti-Rift Valley Fever (RVF) antibodies in serum or plasma from multiple species

For research use only on human samples: see References(*).

This test does not contain any virus particles.

Advantages

Specifications

Format

References

Excellent analytical sensitivity, sensitivity and specificity, as proven in recent outbreaks
Multi-species test: may be used on ruminants, horses, dogs and other species. For research use only on human samples: contact us.
Convenient and rapid format: ready-to-use, coated plates in strips, and all other components in liquid format. Results in less than 2 hours.
Practical: easily check that all samples have been correctly deposited because the dilution buffer changes color upon addition of the sera
