A method for detecting human parvovirus/erythrovirus antigen in a sample comprises contacting a buffer having a pH in the range 3.0 to 4.0, suitably a citrate/trisodium citrate buffer, with the sample followed by the measurement of the antigen. The measurement of the antigen can be by virus capture enzyme immunoassay. The method is a good indicator of recent infection and can be used in the screening of individual plasma units or pools from which blood products are extracted.
