Specimen

Gold SST, collect 2 mL blood

Serum, 1 mL (0.5 mL minimum), frozen

Rejection Criteria

Plasma, room temperature for more than 24 hours, insufficient quantity, unlabelled specimen

Interpretative Information

The quantitative range of this assay is 2.1-6.8 log IU/mL (120 - 5,800,000 IU/mL).

A negative result (less than 2.1 log IU/mL or less than 120 IU/mL) does not rule out the presence of PCR inhibitors in the patient specimen or HDV RNA concentrations below the level of detection of the test. Inhibition may also lead to underestimation of viral quantitation.
