Every fecal workup deserves a SNAP® Giardia Test.
Giardia is very prevalent in feline and canine diarrhea
cases, but infection is often missed with fecal floats alone. That’s
why we developed the SNAP Giardia Test to be used
side-by-side with fecal floats.
The reliable, cost-effective SNAP Giardia Test
dramatically improves the results of your workups on symptomatic GI
patients. It catches those missed Giardia-positive
animals up to three times as often as traditional methods.1
| 1. |
Pull off the tube that covers the conjugate/swab device and coat
the entire swab tip with a thin layer of fecal material. Replace the
tube over the swab. |
 |
| |
| 2. |
Break the plastic valve stem inside the reagent bulb by bending
the assembly back-and-forth at the neck. Holding the device
swab-tip-down, squeeze and release the bulb three times to pass the
conjugate solution in the bulb to the swab tip. |
| |
| 3. |
Place the SNAP device on a horizontal surface. Remove the tube
from the conjugate/swab device. Using the swab/bulb as a pipette,
dispense 5 drops of the sample/conjugate solution
into the sample well of the SNAP device, being careful not to splash
the contents outside of the sample well.
The sample will flow across the result window, reaching the
activation circle in approximately 30–60 seconds. Some sample
may remain in the sample well.
When the sample FIRST appears in activation circle, push
the activator firmly until it is flush with the device body.

 |
| |
| Some samples may not flow to
the activation circle within 60 seconds and, therefore, the circle
may not turn color. In this case, press the activator after
the sample has flowed across the result window. |

Wait 8 minutes, then read the test
result.
