Failed
Lateral Flow Device
If there is no control line visible on either of the two
LFDs, then the test is invalid and must be run again using
a new test kit. Re-test even if there are lines opposite
the "T" (Test Line) |

Negative
Result
When the test result shows Control Lines and Test Lines
on both the LOW and HIGH LFDs, then the test is negative.
This means that there is no contamination or, if there is
contamination, it is at such a low level that it requires
no immediate action. Note the different strengths of the
"C" and "T" lines. This is normal. |
|
|
Low
Positive
When the test result shows Control Lines on both LFDs, plus a Test Line on the HIGH LFD, but no line on the LOW LFD, then the test is positive at the lower of two settings. This means that there is contamination present and it is at level that requires the application of biocide. |
|
|
High
Positive
When the test result shows Control Lines on both LFDs, but no Test Line on the HIGH or LOW LFDs, then the test is positive at the higher of the two settings. This means that there is contamination present and it is at a level that requires the application of biocide and tank cleaning. |
