HCV genotyping non reflex
HCV subtype
  

This assay, for in vitro use, is intended for the genotyping of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human serum and plasma. This test allows genotyping of the six major HCV types and their most common subtypes.

  

Only submit samples that contain a HCV viral load >1000 IU/mL 

  
Serum
  

Gold serum separator (SST) tube

  
3.0 mL
  
300 uL
Submission of the minimum volume does not allow for repeat testing
  

Immediately following collection, thoroughly mix sample by gently inverting 5 times

  
  1. Allow sample to clot for a minimum of 30 minutes
  2. Spin within 24 hours of sample collection
  3. Transfer serum to a LabCorp screw-capped purple frozen plastic transport tube, labelled as serum
  4. Freeze
