IHBSG-402N - HBsAg Rapid Test (No Buffer Required) for Whole Blood, Serum, or Plasma
The HBsAg Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen in human whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
HBsAg, or Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, is a key protein found on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Detection of HBsAg in blood testing serves as the primary method for diagnosing active HBV infections, whether acute or chronic. As the first serologic marker to appear following infection, HBsAg can be detected as early as one week post-exposure. A positive HBsAg test result indicates infectious status and potential for viral transmission to others. Persistent positivity beyond six months typically suggests chronic hepatitis B, representing a significant risk factor for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, HBsAg screening is essential for early diagnosis, effective patient management, and transmission prevention.
