Abbott HCV Rapid Test Card (Pack of 50) — Product Description

The Abbott HCV Rapid Test Card (Pack of 50) is a reliable and accurate rapid diagnostic kit for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. Designed for clinical, diagnostic, and screening environments, this test enables quick identification of individuals with HCV antibodies so healthcare professionals can take timely action for confirmation, counselling, and treatment planning.

Supplied as a convenient pack of 50 test cards, the kit is suitable for hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, community screening programs, and point-of-care use where rapid, on-site results support fast decision-making. The test is easy to perform and provides clear visual results in a short time frame.

Key Features :

Rapid qualitative detection of HCV antibodies in serum, plasma, or whole blood.
Pack of 50 test cards — ideal for clinics, screening drives, and laboratory use.
Fast, easy-to-read lateral-flow format for point-of-care testing.
Compact and portable — suitable for outreach and field screening programs.
Supports early screening and triage; positive/reactive results should be confirmed with laboratory-based assays per local guidelines.

Important: Rapid antibody tests are screening tools. A reactive result indicates the presence of HCV antibodies and requires confirmatory testing (e.g., HCV RNA PCR) and clinical evaluation in accordance with local testing algorithms and public-health protocols. Always follow the manufacturer's Instructions For Use (IFU) and local regulatory requirements when performing and interpreting results.
