Evaluation of the cobas ® HCV Test for quantifying HCV RNA in dried plasma spots collected using the cobas® Plasma Separation Card.

CONCLUSIONS: PSC samples correlate well with plasma viral load and demonstrate a LoD below 1000 IU/mL and good stability at ambient temperature for 28 days. A correction factor would allow quantification of HCV viral RNA load from samples collected using a PSC.
