HCV(Hepatitis C Virus) Antibody Rapid Test Kit
For the qualitative detection of HCV antibodies in serum/plasma and whole blood
Intended Use
Newscen HCV Antibody Rapid Test is for the detection of antibodies to Hepatitis C type virus(HCV) in human serum, plasma or whole blood collected from vein or fingertip. It is intended for use in medical institutions by trained staff.
Principle
HCV(Core and NS 3) specific recombinant antigens are precoated on to the membrane as the capture reagent on the test zone.
During the test, specimen is allowed to react with the colloidal gold particles,which have been conjugated with HCV specific recombinant antigens. Antibodies to HCV, if present, will specifically bind to colloidal gold-antigen complex.
When the colloidal gold-antigen-antibody complexes move to the test zone, they will specifically bind to the precoated antigens. At the same time, a red colored I in e will develop in the test zone. Absence of this red colored line in the test zone suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, red colored line in the control zone will always appear regardless of the presence of antibodies to HCV.
