A dedicated specimen (i.e. no other tests to be performed) is required for this assay.

A current viral load result MUST accompany a request for genotyping. Samples without a current viral load will not be processed.
A minimum HCV viral load of 3.0 log IU/ml is required for successful typing.

(Current viral load = within the last month for untreated chronic HCV

= immediately prior to genotyping for treated HCV.)
