Principles: The Rapide - Ehrlichia Ab Test Kit is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Ehrlichia canis antibody in canine serum, plasma or whole blood.

Test performance: In large scale studies using several hundreds clinical samples, Rapide - Ehrlichia Ab Test Kit was compared to Immuno-Fluorescence Assay (IFA), a reference standard technique used by diagnostic labs, for detection of E. canis antibody; the sensitivity was 97.6% and specificity was 99% for E. canis antibody detection compared to IFA.
