Simple Test Procedure
- Using the Disposable Pipette, add 5 drops of sample into the test vial.
- Make sure all the liquid is at the bottom of the Test Vial by swirling it and tapping the Test Vial gently on a flat surface. Wait 5 minutes.
- Swirl the Test Vial gently again. This step is essential for proper detection.
- Place the Test Strip into the Test Vial with the arrows pointing down. Wait 10 minutes. Do not disturb the Test Strip or Test Vial during this time.
- Take the Test Strip out of the Test Vial and interpret the results.
Interpreting Results
Positive Result
Any colour development at Line 1 or Line 2 indicates the presence of bacteria in the sample.
- If both line 1 and line 2 are present, a gram-negative organism has been detected.
- If line 2 is present and line 1 is absent, the detected organism may be Gram-positive or Gram-negative.
Negative Result
If only the Control Line (C) develops colour – no bacteria detected.
Invalid Result
If the Control Line does not develop colour, the result is invalid – repeat test. In rare samples with high levels of Gram-negative bacteria, both Line 1 and 2 appear but the Control line is weak or absent – this result should be interpreted as Positive, Gram-negative organism detected.
