FAQ's of J Mitra Diagnos HCV BI-DOT:
Q: How is the J Mitra Diagnos HCV BI-DOT test performed?
A: To use the Diagnos HCV BI-DOT, add 100 l of human serum or plasma to the test strip. After the sample is applied, results can be interpreted visually in as little as 15 minutes. The appearance of a dot on the membrane indicates the presence of anti-HCV antibodies.
Q: What type of sample is needed for this HCV test and how much is required?
A: The test requires either human serum or plasma, with a sample volume of 100 l necessary for each individual test.
Q: When can the results from this spot immunoassay be read?
A: Results are available as early as 15 minutes after adding the sample, providing rapid and timely detection of antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus.
Q: Where should the Diagnos HCV BI-DOT kits be stored for optimal performance?
A: Store the kits at temperatures between 2C and 8C to ensure stability and accurate performance during the test's shelf life.
Q: What is the process for reading the test results?
A: After applying the sample and waiting the prescribed time, visually inspect the membrane. The development of a dot signifies a positive result for anti-HCV, while absence of a dot indicates a negative result.
Q: Who can benefit from using this portable immunoassay?
A: Healthcare workers, diagnostic labs, field clinics, and organizations involved in rapid disease screening benefit from its portability, fast readout, and simple operation-especially where swift, qualitative results are essential.
Q: What are the main advantages of using the Diagnos HCV BI-DOT?
