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

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

• This test does not contain any virus particles
• 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: see References (*).
• 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: you can easily check that all samples have been correctly deposited because the dilution buffer changes color upon addition of the sera
