Performance of an automated system for quantitation of hepatitis C virus core antigen

The performance of an automated system for the HCV core antigen assay using the Lumispot LS-2000 automated analyzer was evaluated against that of the COBAS AMPLICOR HCV MONITOR Test, version 2.0 (COBAS HCM-2) for the testing of sera from 155 chronic hepatitis C patients. The within-run coefficient o...

Summary:The performance of an automated system for the HCV core antigen assay using the Lumispot LS-2000 automated analyzer was evaluated against that of the COBAS AMPLICOR HCV MONITOR Test, version 2.0 (COBAS HCM-2) for the testing of sera from 155 chronic hepatitis C patients. The within-run coefficient of variations (CVs) and the between-day CVs were
