Quantitative and Qualitative Assays

چکیده
The validation of alternative microbiological testing is an opportunity for a manufacturer to decrease the amount of time required for laboratory results. To properly validate these alternatives, a practitioner must first identify what is being studied. The regulatory effect on established product and process specifications and levels must be completely evaluated, as changing the method of analysis may well change the apparent number in the sample.

Evaluation of hepatitis C virus RNA RT/PCR qualitative and quantitative second generation assays.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA qualitative and quantitative second generation assays (Amplicor HCV v2.0 and Amplicor HCV Monitor v2.0, respectively) were evaluated by testing serum samples from 132 blood donors anti-HCV positive HCV RNA negative by first generation qualitative assay and 326 viremic patients. An HCV RNA transcript was synthesized and ten-fold dilutions were used to assess sensitivi...

متن کاملComparison of quantitative and qualitative PCR assays for cytomegalovirus DNA in plasma.
We analyzed the performance characteristics of the qualitative AMPLICOR CMV Test (Roche Molecular Systems, Pleasanton, Calif.) and quantitative COBAS AMPLICOR CMV MONITOR Test (Roche Molecular Systems) assays and compared the performance of the AMPLICOR quantitative assay with an in-house-developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA PCR assay. The quantitative AMPLICOR assay was found to be more sensiti...

متن کاملRole of qualitative choriogonadotropin assays in diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
We compared the clinical sensitivity and cost-effectiveness of a qualitative assay for choriogonadotropin in human urine ("Icon" hCG) with a quantitative assay of serum from 142 women with pathologically-diagnosed ectopic pregnancy. Results show that although the qualitative assay had a clinical sensitivity for pregnancy of 98.6%, as compared to 100% for the quantitative assay, it was more econ...
متن کاملComparison of Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Agglutination Assays in Diagnosis of Brucellosis in Golestan Province, North of Iran
Introduction: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections worldwide. The clinical symptoms of brucellosis are similar to a wide range of diseases; hence, reliable diagnostic and laboratory methods are required to identify the causative agent. Iran is an endemic region of brucellosis, and many patients are misdiagnosed due to the nature of the infection. In this study, we aimed to ...
