Description
The HCV Rapid Test is a quick screening method used to detect antibodies against the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a patient’s blood, serum, or plasma. It helps identify individuals who may have been exposed to HCV and require further confirmatory testing.
Key features include:
- Fast Results: Results are typically available within 15–30 minutes.
- Simple Procedure: Requires a small blood sample and is easy to perform.
- Initial Screening: Used in clinical settings or mass screening programs to identify potential cases.
A positive result indicates exposure to HCV, prompting further confirmatory tests to diagnose active infection.
