Description

The Oscar HCV Rapid Card is an in‑vitro diagnostic lateral flow rapid test used for the qualitative detection of antibodies against Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human serum or plasma samples. It serves as a point‑of‑care screening tool to aid in early diagnosis of HCV infection without requiring complex laboratory equipment. The test utilizes a double antigen immunoassay format with recombinant HCV proteins coated on a nitrocellulose membrane and colloidal gold for visible line formation. Results can typically be read within 5–20 minutes after sample application, providing fast turnaround for screening purposes.
