Product OverviewThe OnSite HSV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection and differentiation of antibodies (IgG and IgM) to herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) in human serum, plasma or whole blood. The test is intended for rapid, point-of-care screening to help distinguish acute (IgM) from past or chronic (IgG) infections.
Key Features- Uses glycoprotein G2 (gG2) to specifically differentiate HSV-2 from HSV-1.
- Simultaneous detection and differentiation of anti-HSV-2 IgG and IgM for acute vs. past infection assessment.
- Compatible specimen types: whole blood (WB), serum (S) and plasma (P).
- Fast results: approximately 10 minutes, suitable for on-site decision-making.
- High agreement with established European ELISA: IgG 95.3% concordance; IgM 100% concordance.
- Stable storage and transport: shelf life up to 24 months at 2–30°C.
