EBV VCA IgM

Product Description

The EBV VCA IgM test is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), for use on IDS automated analyzers, for quantitative determination of specific IgM 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 IgM in the sera of infected people
  • High sensitivity and specificity of the VCA IgM test in the acute infection
  • High specificity and sensitivity of the 3 tests VCA IgG , VCA IgM and EBNA-1 IgG when used together to evaluate the stage of the infection
