Description

Product Information: HEV-Ab ELISA Kit

Product Name: HEV-Ab ELISA Kit
Catalog Number: [Insert Catalog Number]
Manufacturer: [Insert Manufacturer Name]
Intended Use: Diagnostic/Research Use Only

Overview:

The HEV-Ab ELISA Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) in human serum or plasma. This assay utilizes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology to detect and measure HEV antibodies, aiding in the diagnosis of acute or past HEV infection.

Key Features:

• High Sensitivity and Specificity: Provides accurate detection of HEV antibodies in a variety of clinical samples.
• Quick and Easy Procedure: The test can be completed in less than 2 hours, making it ideal for both research and clinical applications.
• Reproducibility: Offers consistent results across different sample types and testing conditions.
• Validated for Human Samples: Suitable for use with human serum or plasma.

Principle of the Test:

This ELISA kit is based on the detection of antibodies specific to HEV. When a sample containing HEV antibodies is added to the plate, they bind to the antigen-coated wells. After washing, a substrate is added, and the color change is proportional to the amount of HEV antibodies present in the sample, providing a quantitative or qualitative result.

Applications:

• Clinical Diagnostics: Used for the detection of HEV antibodies in individuals suspected of having acute or past Hepatitis E infections.
• Epidemiological Studies: Helps in assessing the prevalence of HEV infection in specific populations or regions.
• Research: Ideal for studies investigating HEV seroprevalence, immune responses, and vaccine development.

Kit Contents:

• Pre-coated Microplate: Ready-to-use strips for sample testing.
• Sample Diluent: Used to dilute serum or plasma samples.
• Conjugate Solution: Contains enzyme-labeled HEV antigens for the detection process.
• Substrate Solution: Provides the necessary reagent for colorimetric detection.
• Stop Solution: Stops the enzyme reaction and stabilizes the color change.
• Positive Control: Ensures the validity of the assay results.
• Negative Control: Ensures specificity and accuracy of the results.

Storage and Stability:

• Store at 2-8°C (refrigeration) upon receipt.
• Kit components are stable until the expiration date indicated on the packaging if stored under recommended conditions.

Assay Procedure:

1. Preparation: Rehydrate and prepare all components as per the instructions.
2. Sample Addition: Add serum or plasma samples to the wells of the ELISA plate.
3. Incubation: Allow binding to occur, followed by washing steps.
4. Detection: Add conjugate solution, followed by substrate, and read the optical density at the recommended wavelength.
5. Result Interpretation: Compare the results with the included positive and negative controls.
