Intended Use
Newscen HIV (1+2) Antibody Rapid Test is a single-use, rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and 2 (HIV-1/ 2) in human serum, plasma or whole blood collected from vein or fingertip. It is intended for use in medical institutions by trained staff.
Principle
HIV-1 (gp41 and gp120) and HIV-2 (gp36) specific recombinant antigens are separately precoated onto the membrane in zone 1 and 2 as the capture reagent on the test zone. During the test, the specimen is allowed to react with the colloidal gold particles, which have been conjugated with HIV-1 and HIV-2 specific recombinant antigens. Antibodies to HIV-1 and/ or HIV-2, if present, will specifically bind to the colloidal gold-antigen complex.
When the colloidal gold-antigen-antibody complexes move to the test zone, they will specifically bind to the pre-coated antigens. At the same time, a red-colored line will develop in zone 1 and/ or 2 on the membrane. The absence of these red-colored lines in the test zone (1 and 2) suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a red-colored line in the control zone will always appear regardless of the presence of antibodies to HIV-1/ HIV-2.
Procedure of NewScen HIV Test Kit
1. Place the test cassette on a flat surface. Before unsealing the pouch, allow the test cassette to reach room temperature (4-30°C). Use it immediately once unsealed.
2. Open the pouch and add 1 drop (30-40µL) of the specimen into the sample well (S).
3. When the specimen is completely absorbed, slowly add 1 drop (45-55µL) of diluent buffer vertically into the sample well (S).
4. Avoid dropping specimen or diluent buffer in the observation window.
5. Do not allow the diluent buffer bottle to touch the sample well when dropping the diluent buffer so as to prevent cross-contamination with the specimen.
6. Observe the result between 15-30 minutes after the diluent buffer added.
Result Interpretation
1. Negative: No red lines appear within 30 minutes in the test zone (1 and 2), only a red line in the control zone (C), which indicates that no antibodies to HIV1+2 have been detected with this test. However, this does not exclude the possibility from infection with HIV.
2. Positive: One red line in the control zone (C) and one or two red visible lines of any intensity in the test zone (1 and 2). indicate the specimen contains HIV-1 and/ or HIV-2 antibodies.
3. Invalid: No red lines appear in the control zone (C), regardless of whether there is a red line in the test zone (1 and 2), indicating that the test is invalid. Discard the test cassette and perform with new cassette.
Built-In Control Newscen HIV (1+2) Antibody Rapid Test has a built-in procedural control that demonstrates assay validity. A red line appeared on the control zone (C) indicates that the test runs correctly.
