Improved COBAS TaqMan hepatitis C virus test (Version 2.0) for use with the High Pure system: enhanced genotype inclusivity and performance characteristics in a multisite study.

Abstract excerpt

We have evaluated the COBAS TaqMan hepatitis C virus (HCV) test (version 2.0) for use with the High Pure system (HCVHPS V2), a new, revised real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay developed to improve the genotype quantitation of version 1.0 (HCVHPS V1). Revisions were made in the wash buffer and in the reverse transcription temperature. The genotype inclusivity of HCVHPS V2 was evaluated at three different...
