Promed Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody Rapid Test Kit

The Promed Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Rapid Test Kit is a professional in-vitro diagnostic screening test designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies associated with Hepatitis C Virus infection. The kit provides a convenient method for preliminary Hepatitis C screening in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, clinics, health screening centres and other healthcare facilities. Using lateral flow immunochromatographic technology, HCV antibody rapid tests detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to exposure to Hepatitis C Virus. The Promed HCV Rapid Test Kit supports efficient screening without the need for specialised laboratory analyzers, making it suitable for healthcare settings that require accessible and timely infectious disease testing. The kit is intended for preliminary antibody screening. Reactive results require appropriate follow-up testing, including HCV RNA testing, to establish whether a patient has a current Hepatitis C infection.
