What is it?

  • The ARCHITECT HBsAg NEXT Qualitative Reagent Kit is used to detect a protein called hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) produced by the hepatitis B virus in a patient’s blood. This test is used with the ARCHITECT i System which runs the assay and analyzes the results.
  • The HBsAg NEXT Confirmatory Reagent Kit is used to make sure that HBsAg is present in a sample that is initially reactive.
  • The HBsAg NEXT Qualitative Calibrators and ARCHITECT HBsAg NEXT Qualitative Controls are used to make sure that the test is working properly.
  • The HBsAg NEXT Confirmatory Manual Diluent is used to dilute the blood sample if the amount of HBsAg is too high to be used in the HBsAg Next Confirmatory Reagent Kit.

How does it work?

A sample of a patient’s blood is sent to a clinical laboratory. At the laboratory, the blood sample is processed to separate the serum or plasma. The serum or plasma containing HBsAg is then run using the ARCHITECT i System, where it is mixed with test chemicals. The system sends a signal if there is HBsAg detected in the sample. The ARCHITECT i System then measures the signal. A trained medical professional reviews the results and sends a report to the healthcare provider.

When is it used?

This is a laboratory test used for individuals, including pregnant women and children, who may be infected with the hepatitis B virus. The test results are used together with other clinical information and blood tests to help health care providers determine if someone with signs and symptoms of hepatitis B, or someone at risk for hepatitis B infection, has the virus.

What will it accomplish?

Detecting HBsAg, when combined with other clinical information and blood tests, helps health care providers determine whether someone is infected with hepatitis B. The presence of HBsAg can determine if a person is infected with hepatitis B, but not if it is a short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) infection.

When should it not be used?

There are no known reasons not to use this test.
