Abstract excerpt

Since the introduction of mandatory HCV RNA testing of plasma pools for fractionation by nucleic acid amplification technology, we have organised External Quality Assessment studies (EQAs) addressed to blood products manufacturers and blood centres. Here we report the results of a new EQA, the first one to include all six major HCV genotypes. The results, reported by laboratories worldwide, showed that genotypes...
