One step HCV test Card

INTRODUCTION

 

One Step Cassette Style ANTI-HCV Test is a rapid direct binding test for the visual detection of hepatitis C antibodies(ANTI-HCV) in serum as an aid in the diagnosis of hepatitis C infection. One Step ANTI-HCV Test is based on the principle of double antigen sandwich immunoassay for determination of ANTI-HCV in serum. Purified recombination antigens were employed to specifically identify ANTI-HCV with high sensitivity.

This one step test only takes about 10-20 minutes. Test results are read visually without any instrument.

 

SPECIMEN COLLECTION

 

Collect blood into a container without anticoagulant. Allow the blood to clot and separate the serum from the clot. Use the serum for testing. If the specimen cannot be tested on the day of collection, store the serum specimen in a refrigerator or freezer. Bring the specimens to normal room temperature before testing. Do not freeze and thaw the specimen repeatedly.

 

TEST PROCEDURE

 

1.When you are ready to begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. Remove the test from the pouch.

2.Draw 0.2ml (about 5 drops)sample into the pipette, and dispense it into the sample well on the cassette.

3.Wait 10~20 minutes and read results. Do not read results after 30 minutes.

 

 

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

 

*Negative:Only one colored band appears on the control region. No apparent band on the test region.

*Positive:In addition to a pink colored band, a distinct pink colored band will also appear in the test region.

*Invalid:A total absence of color in both regions is an indication of procedure error and/or that test reagent deterioration has occurred.

STORAGE AND STABILITY

 

The test cassette can be stored at room temperature(18 to 30℃)in the sealed pouch for duration of shelf life. The test cassette should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.

 

PRECAUTION

 

*For in vitro diagnostic use only.

*Do not use test cassette beyond expiry date.

*The test cassette should not be reused.
