Principle of Assay
Universal Hepatitis C Virus ELISA Kit (A350612) is a 1h 30m qualitative Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (qELISA) designed for the in vitro qualitative detection of universal Hepatitis C Virus in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other biological fluids. Samples are added to a 96-well microtiter plate pre-coated with assay-specific binding reagents. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and an enzyme-conjugated detection reagent is added. After further incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is added to visualize the enzyme-mediated reaction. This produces a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow following addition of acidic stop solution. The presence or absence of colour indicates the presence or absence of Hepatitis C Virus in the sample.
