Performance of the automated COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 test on a genetically diverse panel of specimens from China: comparison to the COBAS amplicor HIV-1 monitor test, v1.5.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of genetically diverse HIV samples from China on the performance of the automated COBAS(R) AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan(R) HIV-1 Test (CAP/CTM). METHODS 185 samples from untreated HIV-1-infected patients were used to assess the performance of the CAP/CTM Test and COBAS Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor Test, v1.5 (Cobas). RESULTS A comparison of the qualitative results o...
متن کاملComparison of the COBAS/Ampliprep Taqman and Amplicor HIV-1 monitor tests in Lagos, Nigeria
BACKGROUND The use of real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology options is increasing in resource-limited settings because they are faster, improve assay sensitivity, have higher throughput, larger dynamic ranges and reduced rates of contamination. In 2010, UNAIDS ranked Nigeria as the second highest population of people living with HIV and AIDS (2.98 million people) in the world. ...
متن کاملComparison of the Abbott realtime human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) assay to the Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HIV-1 test: workflow, reliability, and direct costs.
The Abbott RealTime human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) assay (ART) and the Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HIV-1 test (CTM) are commercially available assays for quantification of HIV-1 RNA in plasma. We evaluated performance characteristics, workflow, throughput, reliability, and direct costs of these assays. Both assays yielded good correlation of quantitative results (r = 0.95) among c...
متن کاملComparison of the Cobas Ampliprep/Cobas TaqMan HBV Test versus the Cobas Amplicor HBV monitor for HBV-DNA detection and quantification during antiviral therapy.
Performances of the new automatic system COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan 48 (CAP/CTM) (Roche, Branchburg, NJ) for HBV DNA extraction and real-time PCR quantification were assessed and compared with the endpoint PCR COBAS AMPLICOR HBV Monitor (CAHBM, Roche). Analytical evaluation with proficiency panels from UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (UK NEQAS) over a 1-year period of distribut...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Roche COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test.
The performance of the Roche COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test (CAP/CTM) was evaluated. The limit of detection was 9.5 IU/mL using the 3rd International Standard. Serial dilutions of each genotype demonstrated good reproducibility and linearity. Correlation with samples previously tested with the Roche Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) was very good, with the CAP/CTM assay measuring 0.24 log I...
