MERILISA® HCV 4th Generation ELISA Kit (96T) | Hepatitis C 4th Gen

MERILISA® HCV 4th Generation ELISA Kit — Hepatitis C Ag + Ab Detection (96T)

MERILISA® HCV 4th Generation ELISA is an advanced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the simultaneous detection of HCV core antigen AND antibodies (IgG/IgM) against Hepatitis C Virus in human serum or plasma. The addition of HCV core antigen detection significantly narrows the window period compared to 3rd generation kits — enabling earlier detection of acute HCV infection before antibody seroconversion.

How It Works

A combination assay coated with anti-HCV Core Ag antibodies (for antigen detection) and recombinant HCV antigens from Core, NS3, NS4, NS5 regions (for antibody detection). Detects both antigen in early infection and antibodies in chronic or resolved infection in a single test run.

Why 4th Generation?

• Detects HCV core antigen ~2 weeks earlier than antibody-only tests
• Covers the serological window period — critical for blood bank safety
• Detects both acute (antigen) and established (antibody) HCV infections
• Better sensitivity than 3rd generation for fresh donations

Clinical Applications

• Blood bank donor screening (upgraded safety protocol)
• Acute HCV infection diagnosis in high-risk patients
• Symptomatic hepatitis workup
• Monitoring HCV treatment response
• Pre-transplant workup
