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

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.
