The invention relates to a diagnostic reagent kit for testing the hepatitis c virus (HCV) and the preparation and test method, which is to add the HCV recombinant antigen used for peridium into the buffer solution, blend it, move into the luminous microplate, make incubation for 18 hours under 4DEG.C, wash the luminous microplate, add into the confining liquid, leave the liquid after incubation and fully dry the luminous microplate to complete the preparation of the pre-peridium luminous microplate; combine the anti-human IgG used for marking and the horse radish peroxidase by improving the sodium periodate to complete the preparation of the enzyme marker; prepare the chemical luminous substrate solution A with luminal, Tween20 and luminous intensifier and prepare the chemical luminous substrate solution B with the hydrogen peroxide. The reagent kit also comprises the sample diluent and concentrated scrub solution. The negative corresponds to the normal human serum while the positive corresponds to the people with serum of pooled serum with HCV antibody. The reagent kit provided in the invention has much higher detection sensitivity than the ELISA, which is safe and reliable, easyto operate with low cost, and without any expensive full-automatic chemical luminous measuring apparatus required.
