HEPATITIS C (HCV) QUANTIFICATION OF VIRAL RNA - VIRAL LOAD -, PLASMA

Modifications  and Relative information

Test code: 2700


PREVIOUS

CURRENT 
 Relative information
1mL serum frozen

Analytical range   :      25 - 391.000.000 UI/mL
Limit of quantification:            25     UI/mL
                                           68 copias/mL
                                           1.39 log UI/mL


1.5 mL plasma-EDTA frozen

Analytical range   :      15 - 100.000.000 UI/mL
Limit of quantification:                 15     UI/mL
                                               41 copias/mL
                                             1.17 log UI/mL 

NOTE: Reported about the version change in the test for quantifying HCV viral load. The incorporation of this improvement, the new version 2.0 Roche Cobas tests, also implies a change in the volume of plasma required.
 The change is an improvement in the sensitivity of quantification.
