Description
The UltraGene-HCV Assay is intended to be used for Viral Hepatitis C (HCV) viral load detection above 20 UI/mL through qPCR. When results are positive, it can also be used for genotyping and provides antiviral susceptibility information for 5’UTR. It includes target-specific qPCR reagents compatible with either Sanger or Next Generation Sequencing platforms.
Methodology
DNA Sequencing • Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
