HCV Antibody Rapid Test Cassette 15-Minute Result

The HCV Antibody Rapid Test Cassette is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. This test is designed for preliminary screening and provides visual results within 15-20 minutes.

HCV Antibody Rapid Test Cassette is primarily used as an initial screening tool to aid in the diagnosis of HCV infection. It is suitable for use in clinics, laboratories, or community health programs where rapid testing is needed. Any reactive result should be confirmed with additional definitive methods (e.g., molecular testing or supplemental assays).

The test utilizes a membrane-based immunoassay. HCV recombinant antigens are pre-coated on the test line region. When a sample is applied, it migrates chromatographically. If HCV antibodies are present, they bind to the antigens, forming a visible colored line in the test region.

This product offers a simple, cost-effective solution for initial HCV screening in settings with limited resources or requiring quick triage.
