Description
Intended Use
One Step Hepatitis B core Antibody Test device (Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Hepatitis B c Antibody in serum or plasma.
Introduction
Viral hepatitis is a systemic disease primarily involving the liver. Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Hepatitis B core antibody is a viral protein secreted by HBV-infected cells. Its presence indicates high levels of virus in the blood, and it is an indicator of the infectiousness of the carrier. If this test is negative, but a person is known to be HBcAb positive, then it indicates low levels of virus in the blood or an “integrated phase” of HBV in which the virus is integrated into the host’s DNA.
One Step Hepatitis B core Antibody Test device (Serum/Plasma) is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of HBcAb in serum or plasma specimen. The test utilizes a combination of monoclonal antibodie and antigen to selectively detect elevated levels of HBcAb in serum or plasma. One Step Hepatitis B core Antibody Test device is very sensitive and only takes about 10-20 minutes. Test results are read visually without any instrument.
Test Procedure
Allow test device, specimen, and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
2. Put the test device on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of serum or plasma (approx. 75 mL) to specimen well (S) of the test device, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S). See illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the results after 20 minutes.
