Xpert® HCV Viral Load

Xpert® HCV Viral Load is a quantitative test that provides on-demand molecular testing for diagnosis*and monitoring of HCV.

Based on the GeneXpert® technology, Xpert® HCV Viral Load utilises automated reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using fluorescence to detect and quantify RNA.

Xpert® HCV Viral Load quantifies HCV genotypes 1–6 over the range of 10 to 100,000,000 IU/mL.
