Frequently Asked Questions

To learn more about Multiplo® Rapid HBc/HIV/HCV Antibody Test, please contact us.

How accurate is Multiplo® Rapid HBc/HIV/HCV Antibody Test?

The Multiplo® Rapid HBc/HIV/HCV Antibody Test demonstrates 96.2% sensitivity and 100% specificity for HBc antibodies, 99.8% sensitivity and 99.7% specificity for HIV antibodies, and 99.1% sensitivity with 99.7% specificity for HCV antibodies.

Why use a rapid test instead of a laboratory-based test?

Rapid tests provide valuable advantages across a range of environments, from point-of-care settings to research and laboratory workflows. They deliver results within minutes without relying on extensive infrastructure, specialized instruments, or highly trained personnel, which helps reduce costs and streamline testing processes. Modern rapid assays often demonstrate performance comparable to laboratory methods, making them a practical option for decentralized screening, high-throughput research studies, emergency situations, and programs that require immediate decision-making or broad accessibility.

Are there alternative testing solutions available?

Yes. Our Multiplo® product line offers testing for several diseases within a single test cartridge and includes assays such as the Multiplo® Rapid TP/HIV Test, which holds regulatory approvals in Canada (home country approval) and is used in international markets where applicable. In addition, our Miriad® product line – available for research use only – provides further testing options, including assays capable of detecting HBc, HIV, and HCV.

Why use a combined test for HBc, HIV, and HCV?

HBV, HIV, and HCV are bloodborne infections that often occur in overlapping risk settings, particularly where exposure to contaminated blood or shared injection equipment is possible. Streamlined testing for these markers enables efficient screening, especially in environments with limited laboratory capacity or where consolidated workflows are preferred. A combined test reduces the need for multiple separate assays by detecting antibodies to all three viruses in a single procedure, helping improve efficiency and simplify sample management. The Multiplo® Rapid HBc/HIV/HCV Antibody Test supports effective testing through its simple and proven three-step process, delivering reliable results with minimal hands-on time.
