Product Description
The EBV VCA IgG test is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), for use on IDS automated analyzers, for quantitative determination of specific IgG class antibodies directed against the Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen (VCA) in samples of human serum or plasma (K3-EDTA, Sodium Citrate).
The assay is used as a diagnostic aid when assessing infective mononucleosis (IM).
- Complete panel available for the detection of the EBV infection
- Early detection of EBV VCA IgG in the sera of infected people
