General Description:
The HCV ELISA Test Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies against the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in human serum or plasma. It serves as an effective primary screening tool to identify current or past HCV infections and is widely used in blood donor screening, pre-surgical assessments, and clinical diagnostics.
The kit is based on Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technology, offering high sensitivity and reliable accuracy.
