Human line
FTD Hepatitis C RNA
Overview
One tube multiplex for detection AND quantification of hepatitis C virus and internal control
Principle
Multiplex real-time PCR for detection of pathogen genes by TaqMan® technology
Targets
One tube multiplex PCR:
- hepatitis C virus
- internal control
Specimen
The quantitative validation of FTD Hepatitis C RNA was done with extracted nucleic acid from human EDTA plasma with NucliSENS® easyMag® and ABI® 7500.
In clinical performance evaluation studies the test was also successfully qualitatively used with human serum.
In case human serum is intended to use for quantitative analysis, the procedure has to be validated by the user. Be aware that in serum samples the sensitivity of the test can be reduced.
Storage
-20°C
Shelf life
6 months minimum
