HEV IgG/IgM Rapid Test (Serum/Plasma)

HEV IgG/IgM Rapid Test (Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative membrane -based immunoassay for
the detection of HEV antibodies in serum or plasma. This test consists of two components,an
IgG component and an IgM component. In the IgG component,anti-human IgG is coated in IgG
test line region.During testing, the specimen reacts with HEV antigen-coated particles in the Test Cassette.The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by
capillary action and reacts with the anti -human IgG in IgG test line region.If the specimen
contains IgG antibodies to HEV,a colored line will appear in IgG test line region.In the IgM
component, anti-human IgM is coated in IgM test line region.During testing, the specimen
reacts with anti-human IgM. HEV IgM antibodies, if present in the specimen,react with the anti- human IgM and the HEV antigen -coated particles in the Test Cassette,and this complex is
captured by the anti-human IgM, forming a colored line in IgM test line region.If the specimen
contains HEV IgG antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgG test line region. If the specimen
contains HEV IgM antibodies,a colored line will appear in IgM test line region. If the specimen
does not contain HEV antibodies, no colored line will appear in either of the test line regions,
indicating a negative result.To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear
in the control line region, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
