Hepatitis A virus IgM Test Cassette（Colloidal gold）

Short Description:

Hepatitis A virus IgM Test Cassette is used for qualitatively detection of Hepatitis A Virus IgM antibodies in human serum, plasma (EDTA, heparin, sodium citrate) or whole blood (EDTA, heparin, sodium citrate). The test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of viral hepatitis, which is caused by Hepatitis A Virus.

Hepatitis A is a self-limited disease and chronic stage or other complications are rare. Infections occur early in life in areas where sanitation is poor and living conditions are crowded. Because the disease is transmitted through the fecal-oral route in dense populated regions, an outbreak can arise from single contaminated source. The cause of hepatitis A is hepatitis A virus (HAV)-non enveloped positive strand RNA virus with a linear single strand genome, encoding for only one known serotype.

The infection with HAV induces strong immunological response and elevated levels first of IgM and then IgG are detectable within a few days after the onset of the symptoms.

Principle

Hepatitis A virus IgM Test Cassette is immunochromatography based. Nitrocellulose-based membrane pre-coated with mouse anti-Hepatitis A Virus antibodies (C line) and mouse anti-human IgM antibodies (T line). And colloidal gold-labeled Hepatitis A Virus antigens were fixed on the conjugate pad.

When an appropriate amount of test specimen is added into sample well, the sample will move forward along the test card via capillary action. If the Hepatitis A Virus IgM antibodies level in the specimen is at or above the detection limit of the test, it will bind to the colloidal gold-labeled Hepatitis A Virus antigen. The antibody/antigen complex will be captured by the anti-human IgM antibody immobilized on the membrane, forming a red T line and indicating a positive result for the IgM antibody. The surplus colloidal gold-labeled Hepatitis A Virus antigen will bind to anti-Hepatitis A Virus polyclonal antibody and form a red C line. When Hepatitis A Virus IgM antibody presents in the specimen, the cassette will appear two visible line. If Hepatitis A Virus IgM antibodies are not present in the sample or below the LoD, the cassette will only appear C line.
