Abstract excerpt

Background: Efficient viral load testing is needed for hepatitis C (HCV) surveillance and diagnosis. HCV viral load testing using dried blood spots (DBSs), made with a single drop of finger-prick whole blood on filter paper, is a promising alternative to traditional serum- or plasma-based approaches. Methods: We adapted the Abbott Molecular m2000 instrument for high-throughput HCV viremia testing using DBSs with...
