Elecsys® Anti-HBs II

Elecsys® Anti-HBs II

  • Systems

    cobas e 411 analyzer, cobas e 601 / cobas e 602 modules, cobas e 801 module

  • Testing Time

    18 minutes

  • Test principle

    Double antigen sandwich assay

  • Calibration

    2-point

  • Interpretation

    <10 IU/L = non-reactive
    ≥10 IU/L = reactive

  • Traceability

    First World Health Organization (WHO) Reference Standard 1977

  • Sample material

    Serum collected using standard sampling tubes or tubes containing separating gel. K2-EDTA and K3-EDTA plasma.

  • Sample volume

    40 μL cobas e 411 analyzer, cobas e 601 / cobas e 602 modules

    100 % (n = 373, recovered from HBV infection)

  • Relative specificity

    99.78 % (n = 2,673, blood donors)
    99.45 % (n = 1,623, routine samples)
