Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on evaluating the AMPLIX® real-time PCR technique for measuring hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in comparison to the established COBAS AmpliPrep™ method, which is crucial for managing chronic hepatitis B.
- Results showed that the AMPLIX® technique demonstrated good reproducibility and repeatability across various viral load levels, with accuracy well within acceptable limits.
- The correlation between viral load measurements from AMPLIX® and COBAS Taqman was very strong (0.97), indicating that AMPLIX® is a reliable option for monitoring HBV and can be utilized in intermediate laboratories.
