TEST PRINCIPLES : The TRUSTline HBsAg Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. The test cassette consists of: 1) a burgundy colored conjugate pad containing mouse anti-HBsAg antibody conjugated with colloidal gold (HBsAg Ab conjugates) and a control antibody conjugated with colloidal gold, and 2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing a test line (T line) and a control line (C line). The T line is pre-coated with non-conjugated HBsAg antibody, and the C line is pre-coated with a control line antibody. When an adequate volume of test specimen is dispensed into the sample well of the cassette, the specimen migrates by capillary action across the test cassette. HBsAg, if present in the specimen, will bind to the HBsAg Ab conjugates. The immunocomplex is then captured on the membrane by the pre-coated non-conjugated HBsAg antibody forming a burgundy colored T line, indicating a HBsAg positive test result. Absence of the T line suggests a negative result.
