Comprehensive HCV Antibody DetectionTRUSTwell's HCV Total Ab ELISA Kit is engineered for precise detection of anti-HCV antibodies in serum or plasma samples. Leveraging the solid-phase indirect ELISA method, it enables both qualitative and quantitative evaluation, ensuring accurate diagnostics and robust surveillance of Hepatitis C infections in clinical environments.
User-Friendly Components and WorkflowEach kit arrives with a 96-well microtiter plate, reagents, controls, substrate, stop solution, and an easy-to-follow instruction manual. Designed for manual operation, the workflow typically completes in under two hours. Disposable kit components and clear labeling optimize lab safety, convenience, and efficiency during routine HCV screening.
FAQ's of TRUSTwell HCV Total Ab ELISA Kit:
Q: How does the TRUSTwell HCV Total Ab ELISA Kit detect HCV antibodies?
A: The kit employs an indirect ELISA method to identify total anti-HCV antibodies present in human serum or plasma. Specific viral antigens are immobilized on the microtiter plate, which capture the target antibodies. Bound antibodies are then detected via enzyme-labeled conjugate, producing a quantifiable color change proportional to antibody concentration.
Q: What samples can be tested with this ELISA kit?
A: The kit is validated for use with human serum or plasma samples, providing flexibility for various clinical and laboratory collection protocols.
Q: When should the kit be used, and how should it be stored?
A: It is intended for routine HCV screening in clinical diagnostic laboratories and should be stored refrigerated at 2C to 8C. The kit is best used within its 12 to 18 months shelf life from the manufacturing date.
Q: Where can the TRUSTwell HCV Total Ab ELISA Kit be applied?
A: This ELISA kit is suitable for use in diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, and research facilities. Its reliable performance makes it the choice of numerous healthcare service providers, distributors, and exporters globally, especially within India.
Q: What is the process for interpreting results?
A: After incubating the reagents for approximately 90-120 minutes, optical density (OD) values are read using a plate reader. Results are interpreted either qualitatively (positive or negative) or quantitatively, following the included instructions.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the TRUSTwell HCV Total Ab ELISA Kit?
A: This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, quick results within two hours, and includes all necessary disposable and reagent components to streamline laboratory workflow. Its reliable performance and compliance with international standards make it ideal for accurate HCV detection.
Q: Is any special equipment needed to use the kit?
A: While the kit is manually operated, a compatible ELISA plate reader is required to measure the optical density and interpret results. The kit itself is powered by low-power 230V AC, 50/60Hz, through the plate reader.
