Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotyping, Sequence-based Determination
  

This assay 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 subtyping for HCV 1a and 1b.

  

This procedure may not be successful when the HCV viral load is < 2,500 IU/mL in serum or plasma. 

  
Serum
  

Gold serum separator (SST) tube

  
3.0 mL
  
1.0 mL
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

Immediately following collection, mix sample thoroughly by gentle inverting 8 - 10 times, to prevent clotting

  
  1. Spin within 24 hours of sample collection
  2. Transfer serum to a LabCorp screw-capped purple frozen plastic transport tube, labelled as EDTA plamsa
  3. Freeze
