Agdia is no stranger to understanding how confidence can impact your business. Customers must be confident they are buying quality products; otherwise, they will look for alternatives. In order to ensure customers receive a quality product, the supplier must be confident that they have all the tools necessary to produce it.

Our ImmunoStrips contain two types of lines in the test area, a control line and a test line. The control line assures that the test is working properly and should always appear. If the control line does not appear, the test is invalid. A red to purple colored test line will appear below the control line if a sample tests positive. If the sample is negative, only the control line will be visible.
Samples can be taken from the leaves or roots of a plant. Then insert your sample between the mesh lining in the buffer filled bag. Grind sample by rubbing the outside of the bag with a blunt object.
Insert ImmunoStrip into the extraction bag with the green end facing down. The white line on the ImmunoStrip indicates how far the test strip should be inserted into the extract. Keep the bag in an upright position for the duration of the test. Leave strip in the bag for 30 minutes.
