The Biopanda West Nile Virus IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a rapid lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to West Nile Virus (WNV) in human whole blood, serum or plasma. Designed for use by trained healthcare professionals, this West Nile Virus antibody test provides visually interpreted results in 15 minutes, helping support the diagnosis of West Nile Virus infection. West Nile Virus is a mosquito-borne virus that can cause West Nile fever and, in more serious cases, neurological disease. The virus is maintained in nature primarily through transmission between infected birds and mosquitoes, while humans, horses and other mammals can also become infected. The Biopanda WNV IgG/IgM Rapid Test provides a convenient rapid testing solution using whole blood, serum or plasma specimens, with no specialised result-reading equipment required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the West Nile Virus IgG/IgM Rapid Test detect?
What does the West Nile Virus IgG/IgM Rapid Test detect?
The test qualitatively detects IgG and IgM antibodies to West Nile Virus in human whole blood, serum or plasma.
How quickly are results available?
How quickly are results available?
Results should be read at 15 minutes. Results read after 20 minutes are considered invalid.
What samples can be used?
What samples can be used?
The test can be performed using whole blood, serum or plasma.
Does the test detect both IgG and IgM antibodies?
Does the test detect both IgG and IgM antibodies?
Yes. The cassette contains separate IgG and IgM test regions, allowing qualitative detection of antibodies to West Nile Virus.
How should the West Nile Virus rapid test be stored?
How should the West Nile Virus rapid test be stored?
The kit should be stored at 2–30°C and should not be frozen or stored in direct sunlight.

No. The test is intended for in vitro diagnostic use by trained healthcare professionals.
Why Test for West Nile Virus?
Why Test for West Nile Virus?
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can cause West Nile fever and, in more serious cases, neurological disease such as encephalitis. While many infections are asymptomatic, symptomatic infection may be associated with fever, headache, tiredness, body aches, nausea, vomiting, skin rash and swollen lymph glands.
West Nile Virus antibody testing can help identify the immune response to WNV infection. IgM and IgG antibodies are produced as part of the immune response, making combined IgG/IgM testing useful when investigating suspected West Nile Virus infection.
Rapid antibody testing provides healthcare and laboratory professionals with a convenient screening method when timely results are required. Testing for both IgG and IgM antibodies within the same assay can provide useful information to support clinical assessment alongside patient history and other diagnostic findings.
The Biopanda West Nile Virus IgG/IgM Rapid Test qualitatively detects IgG and IgM antibodies to West Nile Virus in human whole blood, serum or plasma, with visually read results at 15 minutes. Test results should be considered alongside other clinical findings, laboratory tests and evaluations.
