Positive for Cryptosporidium: The presence of grey-black bands at the CRYP and CONT positions indicates that the Cryptosporidium antigen has been detected. Positive for Giardia: The presence of grey-black bands at the GIAR and CONT positions indicates that the Giardia antigen has been detected. Negative for Cryptosporidium: No band visible at the CRYP position and a black band present at the CONT position indicates that Cryptosporidium is absent. Negative for Giardia: No band visible at the GIAR position and a black band present at the CONT position indicate that Giardia is absent. Invalid Results: If no band appears at CONT or incomplete or beaded bands appear at the CRYP or GIAR position, the results are considered invalid. |
