The Hepatitis C Testing Strip is a rapid, qualitative in-vitro diagnostic test used to detect antibodies against the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human blood or serum samples. It utilises recombinant HCV core, NS3, NS4 and NS5 antigens conjugated with colloidal gold to generate a visible result line. This test aids in the preliminary screening of Hepatitis C infection. It is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals or for home screening purposes as directed.
