Introduction
- The HAV Rapid Test Device is a professional infectious disease rapid test designed for qualitative detection and differentiation of Hepatitis A Virus IgG and IgM antibodies.
- This rapid test is designed for whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
- The device supports fast screening for hepatitis A immune response and helps healthcare professionals evaluate possible recent, past, or immune-stage exposure to HAV.
- Results should be interpreted with symptoms, exposure history, vaccination history, and other laboratory findings.
What Is Covid Ag Test
Hepatitis A Virus, also called HAV, is a virus that affects the liver. It usually spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. Hepatitis A is different from Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C because it usually causes acute infection and does not commonly become a chronic lifelong infection.
Importance
- The HAV Rapid Test Device is useful when quick screening is needed in professional healthcare settings.
- Hepatitis A outbreaks may occur through contaminated food or water, poor sanitation, travel exposure, or close-contact transmission.
- Rapid testing helps support early clinical evaluation and public health response.
- IgG and IgM differentiation helps healthcare professionals understand the possible stage of immune response.
Intended Use
The HAV Rapid Test Device by LARKSOIS Pharma may be used in professional diagnostic, public health, and healthcare screening environments.
Applications
- Hepatitis A antibody screening
- Differentiation of HAV IgG and IgM
- Acute infection evaluation support
- Travel and outbreak screening programs
- Clinic and laboratory workflow improvement
- Public health surveillance support
- Point-of-care infectious disease testing
- International diagnostic supply requirements
- Hospital and diagnostic laboratory testing
How It Works
- The HAV Rapid Test Device works on a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay principle.
- When whole blood, serum, or plasma is applied to the test device, the specimen moves across the membrane.
- If HAV IgG or IgM antibodies are present, they bind with specific test components and create visible colored lines.
- The control line confirms valid sample flow and proper test performance.
Method
The HAV Rapid Test Device uses rapid lateral flow immunochromatographic technology for qualitative detection and differentiation of HAV IgG and IgM antibodies from whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
Benefits
- Qualitative detection of HAV IgG antibodies
- Qualitative detection of HAV IgM antibodies
- Differentiates IgG and IgM antibody patterns
- Suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens
- Simple visual result interpretation
- No major laboratory equipment required
- Supports hepatitis A screening workflows
- Useful for public health and outbreak screening programs
Specimen
The HAV Rapid Test Device is designed for whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens. Correct specimen collection and handling are important for reliable test performance.
Guidance
- Use approved whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens only
- Collect specimens according to the product insert
- Use clean and suitable sample collection materials
- Avoid contaminated or improperly stored samples
- Add whole blood, serum, or plasma to the sample well
- Add buffer as instructed
- Read IgG, IgM, and control lines within the valid time window
- Handle all blood specimens as potentially infectious material
Note
Specimen collection, handling, testing, timing, and storage should always follow the official LARKSOIS Pharma kit insert.
Cut Off
The HAV Rapid Test Device by LARKSOIS Pharma is designed to detect and differentiate HAV IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens. HAV IgM may suggest recent or acute infection, while HAV IgG may suggest past exposure or immunity.
Clinical Importance
- HAV IgM may suggest recent or acute Hepatitis A Virus infection.
- HAV IgG may suggest past exposure, previous infection, or immunity.
- IgG and IgM differentiation helps healthcare professionals understand the possible stage of immune response.
- The test supports hepatitis A antibody screening, travel screening, outbreak support, and point-of-care infectious disease testing.
Limitations
The HAV Rapid Test Device is a screening aid. It should not be used as the only basis for diagnosis, treatment, or public health decisions. Results should be interpreted with symptoms, exposure history, vaccination history, and other laboratory findings.
Instructions
- For professional in-vitro diagnostic use only
- Handle all blood specimens as potentially infectious
- Wear gloves during sample handling
- Do not reuse the test device
- Avoid cross-contamination
- Do not use damaged or expired kits
- Read results only within the recommended time
- Confirm results where clinically required

Procedure
Steps
- Bring the test device, sample, and buffer to room temperature
- Open the sealed pouch only when ready to test
- Place the test device on a clean, flat surface
- Add whole blood, serum, or plasma to the sample well
- Add buffer as instructed in the kit insert
- Wait for the recommended reaction time
- Read IgG, IgM, and control lines within the valid time window
- Do not interpret results after the recommended reading time
- Dispose of used materials according to laboratory safety rules
Note
Testing should be performed by trained healthcare professionals according to the official LARKSOIS Pharma product insert.
Result Interpretation
Positive
IgM positive / IgG negative may suggest recent or acute HAV infection. IgG positive / IgM negative may suggest past exposure, previous infection, or immunity. IgG positive / IgM positive may suggest recent infection, recovering phase, or active immune response.
Negative
IgG negative / IgM negative means no detectable HAV IgG or IgM antibodies were found. If symptoms continue, further testing may be recommended.
Invalid
If the control line does not appear, the test is invalid and should be repeated with a new device according to the product insert.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the principle of HAV test?+-
The HAV rapid test works on lateral flow immunochromatographic technology. If HAV IgG or IgM antibodies are present in whole blood, serum, or plasma, visible test lines appear on the device.
What is the principle of hepatitis B rapid test?+-
A hepatitis B rapid test commonly uses immunochromatographic technology to detect Hepatitis B markers such as HBsAg. The sample reacts with coated antibodies or antigens and forms a visible line.
When to test for HAV?+-
HAV testing is usually considered when symptoms such as fever, nausea, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, dark urine, or jaundice appear, especially after possible contaminated food, water, travel, or exposure history.
What is the rapid test for hepatitis A?+-
A hepatitis A rapid test detects HAV antibodies, usually IgM and/or IgG, in whole blood, serum, or plasma. It helps screen for recent infection, past exposure, or immune response.
What does it mean when HAV is reactive?+-
A reactive HAV result means HAV antibodies were detected. IgM reactivity may suggest recent infection, while IgG reactivity may suggest past exposure or immunity. Medical interpretation is recommended.
