COBAS® TaqMan® TEST
« on: March 04, 2016, 04:49:33 am »
This is the test I went for the VL AFTER END OF TREATMENT  am I right to assume that the lowest detection is 25 IU/mL ??

COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Test

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load testing quantification
An in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantitation of HCV RNA genotypes 1 through 6 in human serum or plasma.
 
The High Pure System Viral Nucleic Acid Kit allows manual specimen preparation and the COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer automates amplification and detection. This test utilizes realtime PCR technology for the detection and quantitation of HCV RNA.

Features and Benefits
 
Features
CE-IVD: Sensitivity (LOD; genotype 1) –  plasma: 9.3 HCV RNA IU/mL, serum: 8.8 HCV RNA IU/mL; linear range –  25 to 3.91×10^8 IU/mL

FDA-IVD: Sensitivity (LoD; across all genotypes) – 20 IU/mL; Linear range –Quantitation of HCV RNA from 25 to 3×10^8 IU/mL
COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer for automated real-time PCR amplification and detection

Benefits
Minimizes testing errors and manual intervention steps with automated closed-tube amplification and detection on the COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer
Improves result integrity with bar coded samples for sample tracking – AmpErase enzyme reduces risk of contamination – internal quantitation standard eliminates need for calibration
