The OnSite HCV Ab Plus Combo Rapid Test is a highly sensitive, double-antigen lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of anti-HCV antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. Designed for ease of use in both laboratory and field settings, this test delivers reliable results in 15–20 minutes, with no equipment required.
Using a Core-NS3-NS4-NS5 recombinant antigen platform, the assay ensures broad coverage of antibody profiles and enables the detection of low-titer anti-HCV antibodies that may be missed by single-antigen tests. It is validated against BBI seroconversion and performance panels, ensuring its clinical accuracy.
Key Features and Benefits
- Double Antigen Format: Detects antibodies against Core, NS3, NS4, and NS5 HCV proteins for enhanced sensitivity
- Comprehensive Antibody Detection: IgG, IgM, and IgA detection for all stages of infection
- Tri-Specimen Compatibility: Accepts serum, plasma, and whole blood samples
- Validated Performance: Confirmed using BBI seroconversion and performance panels
- No Instrumentation Needed: Ideal for point-of-care use in remote or low-resource settings
- Rapid Results: Results in approximately 15–20 minutes
- Simple Cassette Format: Easy to interpret with clear visual lines
