The GS HIV-1 Western Blot kit is an in vitro qualitative assay for the detection and identification of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in human serum, plasma, or dried blood spots. It is intended for use with persons of unknown risk as an additional, more specific test on human serum, plasma, or dried blood spot specimens found to be repeatedly reactive using a screening procedure, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and as an additional, more specific test for serum, plasma, or dried blood spot specimens obtained from subjects found to be reactive using rapid HIV-1 tests.
Bio-Rad’s Retrovirus HIV product line includes a choice of reagents and testing formats, including enzyme immunoassay (EIA) microplates, an EIA rapid test, and an immunoblot. Bio-Rad’s HIV EIA product range covers all transfusion and diagnostic testing needs.
