HBeAb Rapid Test Cassette

HBeAb Rapid Test Cassette (乙型肝炎e抗体（HBeAb）血清快速检测试纸卡) is a one-step qualitative lateral flow rapid diagnostic test kit, based on the Colloidal Gold Chromatographic Immuno Competitive Binding principle, which is used to detect HBV E-antigen Antibodies in human Serum specimen.

The standard kit size of this Hepatitis B Card test kit is 25 tests per box; 40 boxes per carton.

To save freight cost, sometimes bulk packing is used, meaning test strip, cassette or multi-test panel is packed in single aluminum pouch; 50 or 100 pouches in one plastic bag; and then plastic bags are packed in cartons along with the unfolded boxes for the test kits. In this way, the customers can easily pack the tests into test kits after receiving the bulk packed goods.

Materials Provided

  • Test cassette in single foil pouch with desiccant;
  • Disposable sample dropper;
  • Instruction leaflet.

To carry out the assay with a HBeAb Rapid Test Cassette, Serum should be collected according to the instructions given in the Instruction For Use included in the test kit. After collecting, it is preferable to perform the testing as early as possible; if not viable, the specimen should be stored properly. A general introduction about the collection, and storage of the specimens is given below.

Serum Collection

Collect blood specimen into a red top blood collection tube by vein puncture, which contains no anticoagulants.

Allow the blood to clot, or separate the serum by centrifugation.

Carefully withdraw the serum into a new pre-labeled tube.

Serum Storage Condition

Test specimens as soon as possible after collecting. The specimens can be stored up to 5 days at 2-8°C if not tested immediately. The specimens should be frozen at -20°C for longer time storage. Don’t freeze and thaw the specimens for many times. Prior to testing, bring frozen specimens to room temperature slowly and mix gently. Specimens containing visible particulate matter should be clarified by centrifugation before testing. Do not use samples demonstrating gross lipemia, gross hemolysis or turbidity in order to avoid interference on result interpretation.

Colloidal Gold Chromatographic Immuno Competitive Binding method is used in this HBeAb Rapid Test Cassette to detect the HBV E-antigen Antibodies in human Serum specifically. The introduction of this Colloidal Gold Chromatographic Immuno Competitive Binding testing principle is given blow.

GICA Competitive Method Illustration

Drug abuse test kits are based on the Lateral Flow Competitive Binding rapid test principle.

In the test kit, drug-protein conjugates (purified bovine albumin) are immobilized in the test line region. And the drug specific antibody conjugated with colloidal gold particles is put in the membrane of the sample adding region.

During testing, when the urine specimen is added to the sample adding region, the antibody conjugate particles will come into the urine specimen, where the antibody conjugate will react with the drug. If there is no target drug in the urine specimen, or the concentration is lower than the cut-off, the drug can not bind all the binding sites of the drug specific antibody colloidal gold conjugate.

The unbonded colloidal gold conjugate will be captured by the immobilized drug in the testing line region. When the antibody conjugated colloidal gold particle congregate, a red or pink color will develop, indicating a negative result.

If the concentration of the drug is higher than the cut off value of the test kit, the drug will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody conjugate. Then, when the mixed fluid moves to the test region under capillary effect, there will be no free antibody particles to bind with the immobilized drug, and no color will develop, indicating a positive result.
