乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)和HBsAg確證試驗能夠用于篩選供血人員的乙肝感染情況。

Prism系統是由Abbott公司(Abbott Park, Il, USA)生產的，以及乙肝檢測試驗，Prism HB核心抗原最近獲得了美國食品藥品管理局的許可。其他肝炎和逆轉錄病毒檢測正在接受美國FDA的審核。

已經在30個國家應用，Prism系統將檢測整合入單個系統中，能夠完成許多當前用于篩查的手工檢測。整合入系統中的安全措施有助于追蹤和監測整個過程中的每一個標本，為檢測工作人員提供質量控制和檔案記錄。Prism系統每小時能夠處理160個樣本，能夠在8小時內檢測超過1,200個樣本。
 
Automated Tests Screen Blood for Hepatitis
 
Hepatitis surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBsAg confirmatory tests are used to screen donated blood for hepatitis.

The Prism system produced by Abbott (Abbott Park, Il, USA), together with the hepatitis B test, Prism HB core, were recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additional hepatitis and retrovirus tests are currently under FDA review. Already in use in 30 countries, the Prism system consolidates testing into a single system, automating many of the manual testing procedures and steps currently used for screening blood. Safety measures built into the system help to track and monitor each sample through the testing process, providing documentation and quality control for testing facilities. The Prism system can run 160 samples per hour, making it possible to test more than 1,200 samples in an eight-hour shift.
