Hepatitis C virus (HCV)

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a bloodborne RNA virus that can cause chronic liver infection, leading to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Many infections remain asymptomatic until advanced liver damage occurs. Sensitive and specific detection is essential for diagnosis, monitoring antiviral therapy, and screening at-risk populations.
HCV PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a reliable method for detecting HCV RNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools ensure accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format (for genotyping) for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support applications such as early HCV detection from clinical samples, treatment response monitoring, and epidemiological surveillance.
