Centaur Inc has issued a STOP SALE of its Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins) FP ELISA II kit due to false negative results on horse sera of some EIA strong positive reactor status. The manufacturer is recommending that another USDA approved test be used to confirm negative results. The Athens Veterinary Diagnostic Lab would like to assure its equine clients that any Coggins ELISA results reported are valid and accurate. It is standard procedure in our lab to run any sample submitted for Coggins ELISA on the Coggins AGID test for confirmation of results. All ELISA samples run on Centaur FP ELISA II were confirmed negative through AGID testing and no further testing is required.
