Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Financial constraints are the main concern in implementing nucleic acid testing (NAT) as routine blood screening in Taiwan. The PROCLEIX ULTRIO assay (Ultrio) on the TIGRIS System (Novartis Diagnostics) was evaluated for its operational performance both for individual-donation testing (IDT) and in minipools of 4 (MP4) to develop a feasible solution. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Analytical sensitivity was...
