Procedure at a glance5 steps

Bring the card, specimen and buffer to room temperature, and lay the card flat.
Add 1 drop (about 30 µl) of whole blood, serum or plasma, then 2 drops (about 60 µl) of buffer straight away, to the sample well without overflowing.
Read at 15 minutes; strong positives may show within 5 minutes. Do not read after 15 minutes.
If the result is negative or questionable and HCV is suspected, repeat on a fresh sample.
C only is negative; C and T is positive for HCV antibody, whatever the line intensities; no C line means the test is invalid.
