HCV Real Time PCR Quantitation:


Test Name HCV RNA Real Time PCR Viral Load of HCV RNA Patient Result Detected 8,61,460 IU/ml

HCV RNA isolated from blood sample of patient, using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit. HCV RNA if present in the patient sample is amplified using Qiagen HCV RTPCR Kit on the Real Time PCR system Rotor Gene Q. HCV diagnosis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is based on the amplification of specific regions of the pathogen genome. In Real-time PCR the amplified product is detected via fluorescent dyes. These are usually linked to oligonucleotide probes which bind specifically to the amplified product. Monitoring the fluorescence intensities during the PCR run (i.e. in real-time) allows the detection and quantitation of the accumulating product without having to re-open the reaction tubes after the PCR run (Mackay, 2004). Real Time PCR is a precision science that demands High thermal and optical uniformity, short equilibration times and fast ramping rates of Real Time PCR system QIAGENs Real Time PCR system Rotor-Gene Q combines multiple optimized design features to provide the outstanding performance and reliable results for In-vitro Human Diagnosis. HCV RTPCR Kit contains reagents and enzymes for the specific amplification and detection of 240 bp region of HCV genome on Rotor- Gene Q. In addition, the Kit contains a second heterologous amplification system to identify possible PCR inhibition. This is detected as an Internal Control (IC) in 2nd fluorescence channel. WHO reference standards are used for quantitation of HCV RNA. The Analytical Sensitivity of this test is 26.3 IU/ml. These Kits are CE Marked (CE # 0197) and approved for Human In-Vitro Diagnosis. The result can not be compared with any other laboratory as every lab has its own procedures and quality control. Note: This report is not valid for Court.
