Clinical Evaluation of the artus HCV QS-RGQ Kit
14 Nov 2012A clinical evaluation study of the artus HCV QS-RGQ Kit on the QIAsymphony® RGQ system from QIAGEN was carried out at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust before installing the system in the Department of Virology. The artus HCV QS-RGQ Kit is a ready-to-use molecular detection kit for real-time RT-PCR on Rotor-Gene® Q instruments. The artus HCV QS-RGQ assay was compared with the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan® HCV Test (Roche) by retrospective testing of human plasma samples for hepatitis C virus (HCV).

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types. Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
