Modifications  and Relative information

Test code: 2506

PREVIOUS

CURRENT   Relative information

1mL plasma-EDTA frozen Limit of detection     :         34 copies/mL (log 1.53) Limit of quantification:         34 copies/mL (log 1.53) Limit of linearlity    : 10.000.000 copies/mL (log 7   )

1.5 mL plasma-EDTA frozen Limit of detection     :            20 copies/mL (log 1.30) Limit of quantification:            20 copies/mL (log 1.30) Analytical range:      : 20-10.000.000 copies/mL (log 1.30-7) NOTE: Reported about the version change in the test for quantifying HIV 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.
