Anti-HCV EIA kits commonly used in Chinese donors screening demonstrate good correlation between S/CO ratios and the confirmed infection. For the Ortho third-generation HCV ELISA, the S/CO ratio of 3.8 determined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is applicable to Chinese blood donors. The Chinese domestic EIA kits evaluated show a diverse range of threshold S/CO ratios.
