Product Description

The biokitHSV-2 Rapid Test is a single unit, membrane-based immunoassay for the qualitative determination, either in heparinized capillary whole blood taken by fingerstick or in serum, of circulating IgG antibodies specific for herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which arise as a result of infection with HSV-2. It is intended for in-vitro diagnostic use by health professionals in Point of Care testing. The presence of antibodies to HSV-2 may be indicative of a previous infection with HSV-2 and may be of value in determination of previous immunological experience and to aid in the diagnosis of HSV associated disease. This assay will not differentiate whether infection is currently in a latent or active state.
