Simple Test Procedure

  1. Using the Disposable Pipette, add 5 drops of sample into the test vial.
  2. 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.
  3. Swirl the Test Vial gently again. This step is essential for proper detection.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
