Abstract

Biochemical Research Methods Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Virology
The Abbott RealTime HIV-1 assay is a real-time nucleic acid amplification assay available for HIV-1 viral load quantitation. The assay has a platform for automated extraction of viral RNA from plasma or dried blood spot samples, and an amplification platform with real time fluorescent detection. Overall, this study found no clinically relevant differences in viral load, if samples were extracted manually. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
