Heo technology HCV Antibody Rapid Test Device Esay To Use

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an underdiagnosed global health problem. Diagnosis of current HCV infections typically requires testing for HCV using high-complexity laboratory tests. Methods for the detection of HCV that are simple, inexpensive, rapid, and compatible with use outside of a laboratory setting are very important in order to improve access to hepatitis C diagnostic testing and facilitate accelerated linkage to care.

In people who develop symptoms, on average, it can take between two weeks and 12 weeks from the time you are exposed to HCV to experience symptoms. However, most people with HCV will not experience symptoms

HCV Antibody Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)

The general method of detecting infection with HCV is to observe the presence of antibodies to the virus by an EIA method followed by confirmation with Western Blot. The One Step HCV Test is a simple, visual qualitative test that detects antibodies in human Whole Blood/ serum /plasma. The test is based on immunochromatography and can give a result within 15 minutes.
