MERISCREEN HCV is designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies against Hepatitis C Virus, including IgM, IgG and IgA classes.
Meril documents the assay as using recombinant HCV antigens associated with important viral regions including Core, NS3, NS4 and NS5.
This makes the test suitable for professional HCV antibody screening workflows in laboratories and healthcare settings.
MERISCREEN HCV can be used with:
Specimen collection and preparation should follow the manufacturer's current Instructions for Use and the laboratory's approved SOP.
The assay is based on immunochromatography using a double-antigen sandwich principle.
Recombinant HCV antigens are incorporated into the test system to capture HCV-specific antibodies present in the patient's specimen.
Meril's published technical information describes the following test protocol:
Important: Always follow the current manufacturer-supplied IFU for the specific lot being used.
The manufacturer describes the test as producing qualitative interpretations such as:
An invalid test should not be reported as a patient result. Repeat testing should be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions and laboratory procedure.
No. A reactive HCV antibody result indicates that antibodies against HCV have been detected, but it does not by itself confirm whether there is a current active HCV infection.
Further laboratory evaluation may be required according to the applicable clinical and diagnostic testing algorithm.
The MERISCREEN HCV 50-test professional pack is suitable for use in authorised settings such as:
Store MERISCREEN HCV at 2–30°C and follow the storage and handling conditions stated on the current manufacturer label and IFU.
HCV antibody screening is commonly included in professional infectious-disease and blood-screening workflows.
