VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA)
Designed to identify and correctly detect multiple genotypes and subtypes
The VERSANT® HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay Line Probe Assay (LiPA) utilizes the trusted reverse-hybridization technology to detect genotypes 1-6 and 15 subtypes including 1a vs.1b and subtypes 6 (c-l) while also taking note of rare patterns that are contained in the updated interpretation chart. This assay is used with the Auto-LiPA 48* and Tendigo* automated systems to provide highly accurate identification of HCV genotypes and subtypes for optimal patient therapy.
- Extensive Subtype Information
- Proven Reliability
- Total Genotyping Solution
Features & Benefits
Perform HCV Genotyping and Subtyping with Greater Accuracy
The VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA)* uses the trusted reverse-hybridization technology to provide accurate identification of HCV genotype and subtype specific data for optimal patient therapy.
Extensive Subtype Information
- Positive identification of more than 15 different subtypes including 6 (c-l)
- Increased genotyping and subtyping accuracy due to dual target analysis of 5’ non-coding and core viral genomic regions
- Highly accurate differentiation of subtypes 1a vs.1b showing more than 96% concordance with NS5B sequencing
- Easy and accurate interpretation with updated chart that includes rare patterns
Proven Reliability
- Most widely used HCV genotyping assay
- Trusted reverse-hybridization technology (LiPA)
- Validated with NS5B sequencing
Total Genotyping Solution
- Full integration from extraction to automated interpretation
- Minimal hands-on time as most manual steps are automated with the Auto-LiPA 48 or Tendigo systems
Technical Details
Performance to Meet Your Needs
The VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay is a Line Probe Assay (LiPA) that utilizes the trusted reverse-hybridization technology to detect genotypes 1-6 and subtypes 1a vs. 1b, and subtypes 6 (c-I) all while decreasing the number of undetermined subtype results. With this assay, your lab can identify more than 15 different subtypes while taking note of rare patterns that are contained in the updated interpretation chart. The VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay is the most widely used HCV genotyping assay.
