Accurate quantitation is critical to guide diagnosis to cure Hepatitis C. The Alinity m HCV assay is an in vitro reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to detect and quantitate hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in human serum or plasma.
The Alinity m HCV assay is an in vitro reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for use with the automated Alinity m System to detect and quantitate hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in human serum or plasma. The Alinity m HCV assay is intended for use in the clinical management of HCV-infected patients undergoing antiviral therapy in conjunction with clinical presentation and other laboratory markers. The Alinity m HCV assay may also be used as a diagnostic test to confirm active HCV infection. The results from the Alinity m HCV assay must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings. This assay is not intended to be used in screening blood, blood products, tissue, or organ donors for HCV.
