The HEV Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of HEV antibodies in serum or plasma. This test consists of two components, an IgG component and an IgM component.

In the IgG component, anti-human IgG is coated in IgG test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with HEV antigen-coated particles in the test cassette. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with the anti-human IgG in IgG test line region. If the specimen contains IgG antibodies to HEV, a colored line will appear in IgG test line region. In the IgM component, anti-human IgM is coated in IgM test line region.

During testing, the specimen reacts with anti-human IgM. HEV IgM antibodies, if present in the specimen, reacts with the anti-human IgM and the HEV antigen-coated particles in the test cassette, and this complex is captured by the anti-human IgM, forming a colored line in IgM test line region. Therefore, if the specimen contains HEV IgG antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgG test line region.

If the specimen contains HEV IgM antibodies, a colored line will appear in IgM test line region. If the specimen does not contain HEV antibodies, no colored line will appear in either of the test line regions, indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
