Antibody HIV 1/2 Rapid Test Kit

INTENDED USE

The reagent is used to detect the Hepatitis C Virus Antibody in serum / plasma / whole blood qualitatively. HCV is a single-stranded positive sense RNA virus, which belongs to the family of Flaviviridae. Hepatitis C caused by HCV is an infectious disease with liver as a target organ. The incubation period of hepatitis C virus infection was 2 to 26 weeks, most of the symptoms occurrs in 5 to 12 weeks after transfusion, on an average of 7.4 weeks. There is a long window period with an average of 70 days after the hepatitis C virus infection, however, some patients’ window period can be extended to 6~9 months or even longer. Hepatitis C virus antibody can be detected in most infections with a slow appearance. Generally positive results may occur 2~6 months after the attack, while some positive results occur 12 months later.

Sample Requirement

1. Serum: Use disposable syringe (vacuum blood collection tube) to extract a certain amount of venous blood, and place at room temperature for blood coagulation, take the supernatant after centrifugation of blood for detection. Plasma: Use vacuum blood collection tube with anticoagulation to extract a certain amount of venous blood, and rock repeatedly, take plasma separation for detection.Whole blood: Use the fresh whole blood specimens.

2. EDTA, sodium citrate, sodium oxalate, heparin can be used as the anticoagulants.

3. Serum and plasma specimens may be stored at 2-8℃ for 3 days prior to assay, and at -20 ℃ for 2 years. Repeat freeze and thaw for no more than 3 times. Whole blood specimens with anticoagulation may be stored at 2-8℃ for 24 hour, and should be used immediately without anticoagulation. Frozen whole blood samples should not be used. (If blood coagulation occurs, serum samples are suggested to use.)
