Introduction

  • The HAV IgM Rapid Test Device is a professional infectious disease rapid test designed for qualitative detection of Hepatitis A Virus IgM antibodies.
  • This rapid test is suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
  • The device supports fast screening for acute or recent HAV infection and helps healthcare professionals evaluate hepatitis A immune response.
  • Results should be interpreted with symptoms, exposure history, patient history, and additional laboratory findings.

What Is Covid Ag Test

Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) is a contagious virus that affects the liver. It commonly spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with infected individuals. HAV infection is usually acute and may cause symptoms such as fever, nausea, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, and dark urine.

Importance

  • The HAV IgM Rapid Test Device helps support rapid screening for acute or recent Hepatitis A Virus infection.
  • HAV outbreaks may occur through contaminated food, water, poor sanitation, or travel exposure.
  • Rapid testing may support early clinical evaluation and infection control workflows.
  • HAV IgM antibodies are commonly associated with recent or active immune response to HAV infection.

Intended Use

The HAV IgM Rapid Test Device by LARKSOIS Pharma may be used in professional diagnostic and healthcare screening environments.

Applications

  • Acute HAV infection screening
  • Recent hepatitis A exposure evaluation
  • Travel and outbreak screening support
  • Hospital and laboratory infectious disease testing
  • Point-of-care diagnostic workflows
  • Public health surveillance support
  • Community healthcare programs
  • Clinical hepatitis screening workflows
  • International diagnostic distribution

How It Works

  • The HAV IgM Rapid Test Device works using a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay principle.
  • A whole blood, serum, or plasma sample is applied to the test cassette.
  • If HAV IgM antibodies are present in the sample, they react with specific test reagents and produce a visible colored line.
  • The control line confirms valid sample migration and proper test performance.

Method

The HAV IgM Rapid Test Device uses rapid lateral flow immunochromatographic technology for qualitative detection of HAV IgM antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.

Benefits

  • Rapid hepatitis A IgM screening
  • Qualitative detection of HAV IgM antibodies
  • Suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma
  • Simple visual result interpretation
  • Supports outbreak and travel screening workflows
  • Useful for clinics, hospitals, and laboratories
  • No major laboratory instrument required
  • Professional infectious disease diagnostic application

Specimen
