Table 1 Comparison of characteristics between assay 1 and assay 2

Parameter	HBV		HCV
Parameter	Assay 1	Assay 2	Assay 1	Assay 2
Sample volume	550 µL plasma	650 µL plasma	550 µL plasma	650 µL plasma
Turnaround time	Approximately 1.00 h	Approximately 5.00 h	Approximately 1.25 h	Approximately 5.45 h
LOD in IU/mL	8.0	20	8.0	≥ 15
LLOQ as log₁₀ IU/mL	0.9	1.3	0.9	1.5

10³-10⁶	n = 18 (36.7%)	n = 25 (51.0%)
> 10⁶	n = 6 (12.2%)	n = 5 (10.2%)

HBV: Hepatitis B virus.

Table 4 Comparison of hepatitis C virus viral load results between assay 1 and assay 2

Range of viral load (log₁₀ IU/mL)	HCV
