No samples for which Versant™ HCV had failed to assign a genotype were tested with the microarray.
Only samples previously tested with the Versant™ HCV assay were available for microarray testing.
The VERSANT HIV-1 RNA 1.0 Assay (kPCR) for quantitative detection of HIV-1 RNA has recently been introduced.
Microarray genotype determination was not possible for four samples subtyped by the Versant™ HCV assay as 1a, 1b, 2 and 3a.
Wine lovers are spoiled for choice in the Marais district, from Versant Vins in the buzzing Marché des Enfants Rouges to newcomers such as Monsieur Henri, already crowded every night.
