The safety of the blood supply and the accurate diagnosis of Hepatitis C infection depend on the sensitivity and overall quality of tests for markers of HCV. Test developers, regulators and clinical laboratories require highly characterized panels and control materials to challenge sensitivity accuracy and reproducibility of their assays.
SeraCare Life Sciences, a leading expert in human biologicals and the manufacturer of ACCURUN® controls, introduces two new, highly characterized HCV seroconversion panels designed to help diagnostic manufacturers and clinical laboratories effectively evaluate their HCV test systems. The specimens in each panel are collected from a single individual during the evolution of the immune response to HCV. Accurate detection of early HCV infection is especially important for tests used to screen the blood supply, as HCV is not initially symptomatic upon infection.
