 Composition:

A typical Hepatitis C test strip may contain the following components:

1. **Test Membrane**:

  • Nitrocellulose or similar material that allows for the migration of the sample.

2. **Conjugate Pad**:

  • Contains colloidal gold or latex particles coated with anti-HCV antibodies (IgG) that bind to HCV antigens.

3. **Sample Pad**:

  • Absorbs the sample (e.g., blood, serum, or plasma) and facilitates its movement along the strip.

4. **Control Line**:

  • Contains antibodies that react with the conjugate to indicate that the test has been performed correctly.

5. **Buffer Solution**:

  • A phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or similar solution that maintains pH and ionic strength for optimal performance.

6. **Stabilizers and Preservatives**:

  • Substances to maintain the stability of the reagents and prevent microbial growth.

Indications:

Hepatitis C test strips are indicated for:

1. **Screening for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection**:

  • To detect the presence of antibodies to HCV in individuals at risk of infection, such as those with a history of intravenous drug use, blood transfusions before 1992, or high-risk sexual behavior.

2. **Diagnosis of Chronic Hepatitis C**:

  • To confirm HCV infection in patients presenting with symptoms of hepatitis or elevated liver enzymes.

3. **Monitoring Treatment Response**:

  • To assess the presence of HCV antibodies in patients undergoing antiviral therapy.

4. **Epidemiological Studies**:

  • To conduct population-based studies on the prevalence of HCV infection.

5. **Pre-Operative Screening**:

  • To screen potential organ or tissue donors for HCV to prevent transmission.
