| Also Known as (Alias) | Multiplex NAT HCV/HIV/HBV-NAT HCV/HIV/HBV Nucleic Acid Test (qualitative PCR) |
| Indications | Blood donor screening Stem Cell donor screening Cord Blood donor screening Organ donor testing Cadaveric testing *Assay is not intended for diagnostic use |
| Method | Roche cobas 6800/8800 Systems (Living Donor Samples); Roche cobas TaqScreen MPX v2.0 (Cadaveric Samples). |
| Test Information | Nucleic Acid tests for the detection of HCV, HIV –1 (including HIV group O), and HBV in plasma specimen. |
| Additional Test Information | When HCV/HIV/HBV NAT is ordered, HCV, HIV and HBV are tested together using a Multiplex assay (MPX) on individual specimens. Therefore, it is not possible to order one assay without the other. |
| Sample Requirements | For Living Donor Samples: Dedicated EDTA or Clot (serum) tube for HCV/HIV/HBV NAT
For Cadaveric Donor Samples: Clot (serum) tube is required. |
