INTENDED USE: The FirstVue™ HBsAg Test cassette is a rapid immunochromatographic (micro lateral flow) assay designed for qualitative determination of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in Whole Blood, Serum or Plasma.

PRINCIPLE: The FirstVue™ HBsAg Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, solid phase, two-site sandwich immunoassay for the detection of HBsAg in whole blood, serum or plasma. The membrane is pre-coated with anti-HBsAg antibodies on the test line region of the Device. During testing, the whole blood, serum or plasma specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti-HBsAg antibodies. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-HBsAg antibodies on the membrane and generate a colored line. The presence of this colored line in the test region indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
