Rapid Hepatitis B Test (HBsAG) - Reliable and Fast Detection

The Rapid Test for the Detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAG) is an innovative diagnostic device designed for the qualitative detection of HBsAG in serum or plasma. This test is intended exclusively for professional in vitro diagnostic use and is not suitable for testing blood or organ donors.

Product Features

• Test Type: Chromatographic lateral flow immunoassay.


• Usable Samples: Serum or plasma.


• Format: Pack of 25 pieces.


• Brand: NADAL - NAL VON MINDEN.

Importance of HBsAG Detection

The presence of HBsAG in serum or plasma is a key indicator of active Hepatitis B infection, whether acute or chronic. This test is essential for:

• Identifying early infections, since HBsAG can be detected 2-4 weeks before ALT levels become abnormal.


• Monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness.


• Providing crucial information for patient clinical management.

How the Test Works

The HBsAg Rapid Test uses a combination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to detect elevated levels of HBsAG. Here is how it works:

1. The serum or plasma sample is applied to the test cassette.


2. The sample migrates through the membrane by capillary action.


3. If HBsAG is present, it reacts with the antibody-coated particles, generating a colored line in the test region.


4. A control line always appears to confirm that the test has been performed correctly.

Advantages of the HBsAG Rapid Test

• Speed: Results available in a few minutes.


• Ease of use: No complex equipment required.


• Reliability: High sensitivity and specificity in HBsAG detection.

Conclusion

The Rapid Hepatitis B Test (HBsAG) is an essential tool for healthcare professionals, providing fast and reliable results for the diagnosis of Hepatitis B infection. With a pack of 25 pieces, it is ideal for laboratories and healthcare facilities that require frequent and accurate testing.
