Product details.
Intended use: The HCV Test Strip is a sandwich lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies (IgG, IgM and IgA) to hepatitis C virus in human serum or plasma, as a screening test and an aid in diagnosis. Recombinant HCV core, NS3, NS4 and NS5 antigens form the test line, and reactive samples must be confirmed by another method. Manufactured at Reckon’s Vadodara facility under ISO 13485:2016 quality management, and released against reference standards before dispatch.
The specifications and steps on this page are from the datasheet, last updated 04-2023. The datasheet governs: read it before use, or ask us.

- Buffer
- 2 drops (about 75 µl), added straight after the sample
- Read at
- 15 minutes; not after 20 minutes
- Limitation
- A screening aid: confirm reactive results by another method; very high heterophile antibody or rheumatoid factor titres may affect results
- Storage
- 2 to 40 °C in the sealed pouch
- Note
- Best results within 1 hour of opening the pouch

- Made in
- Vadodara, Gujarat, India
Procedure at a glance5 steps
- Bring the strip, sample and buffer to room temperature (15 to 30 °C).
- Lay the strip on a clean, level surface.
- Add 1 drop (about 30 µl) of serum or plasma to the sample pad, then 2 drops (about 75 µl) of buffer straight away, without air bubbles.
- Read at 15 minutes; do not read after 20 minutes.
- C only is negative; C and T is positive for HCV antibody; no C line means the test is invalid.
