Product details.
Intended use: The POCT HBsAg (Hepa Card) is a one-step immunochromatographic sandwich assay for the qualitative detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in whole blood, serum or plasma, packed for point-of-care use with a 25 µl dropper, lancet and alcohol pad for each test. A monoclonal antibody gold conjugate and polyclonal solid-phase antibodies bind HBsAg to form a pink-purple test line.

Procedure at a glance5 steps
- Bring the card and the sample to room temperature, and lay the card flat.
- Whole blood: add 1 drop (about 25 µl), wait about 30 seconds for it to soak in, then add 2 to 3 drops (60 to 90 µl) of buffer.
- Serum or plasma: add 2 to 3 drops of sample to the sample well, without overflowing.
- Read within 20 minutes; strong positives may show within 5 minutes.
- C only is negative; C and T is positive for HBsAg; no C line means the test is invalid.
