LaboratoryHepatitis B virus surface Ab [Presence] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Rapid immunoassay
Definition
Hepatitis B surface Ab (HBsAb) rapid tests are available in test strip and cassette formats from manufacturers in various countries including the US, Singapore, and China. (As of 8/25/2014, no HBsAb rapid test kits are approved for use in the United States). Hepatitis B surface Ab (HBsAb) rapid tests are used to test human blood for the presence of HBsAb. HBsAb appears in the blood shortly after the disappearance of HBsAg. This term was created for but not limited in use to, the iCare One Step HBsAb test kit which uses the sandwich principle, a solid phase colloidal gold enhanced immunoassay, to detect HBsAb in whole blood, serum, or plasma. Testing can be performed in approximately 20 minutes.
