How to take the Test
Allow test cassette, specimen and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30 °C) prior to testing.
- Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
- Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
- For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen: To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 50 µL of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80 µL) and start the timer.
- Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The test result should be read in 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
How to read the Results
POSITIVE: * Two colored lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C) and another colored line should be in the test region (T). Positive result in the Test region indicates detection of HCV antibodies in the specimen.
*NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region (T) will vary depending on the concentration of HCV antibodies present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test region should be considered positive.
NEGATIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No colored line appears in the test region (T). Negative result in the Test region indicates negative results of HCV antibody in the specimen.
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
