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.
