HCV Test cassette is a lateral flow, immunochromatographic screening test. Purified recombinant Antigens of HCV are precoated onto membrane as a capture reagent on the test band region. If the antibody Of Anti-HCV is present in the sample in concentration above the labeled anti-human IgG-dye complex will Be formed. This complex is then captured by antigens immobilized in the Test Zone of the membrane,
Producing a visible pink-rose color band on the membrane. The color intensity will depend on the
Concentration of the anti-HCV present in the sample. This one step test is very sensitive and only takes
About 10-15 minutes. Test results are read visually without any instrument
