Be Sure Your Patients are Sustained Responders to Hepatitis C Therapy
HEPTIMAX™ – Because Sensitivity Counts
| • | Only commercial lab to offer quantitative Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) technology in HCV testing - TMA has been shown to detect low levels of viremia missed by other methods. |
| • | Low end sensitivity in HCV quantitative testing with optimal precision and reproducibility |
HEPTIMAX™ – Because Convenience Counts
| • | Optimize patient care – from initial baseline, through treatment and follow-up – with one test | |
| – | Early forecasts of treatment response | |
| – | Confirm viral clearance with greater confidence | |
| – | Earlier identification of relapsing patients | |
| • | Broad range of quantitative tests results – 5 IU/mL to 50 MM IU/mL | |
| • | Fast turn around time | |
Quest Diagnostics – Because Experience and Innovation Count
| • | Over $660 million in gene-based tests performed annually |
| • | Quality and knowledge from the nation's leader in gene-based testing |
| • | Leading innovator in HCV testing |
Supporting Technical Information
| • | Visit the PubMed site to read the "Detection of residual hepatitis C virus RNA by transcription-mediated amplification in patients with complete virologic response according to polymerase chain reaction-based assays" abstract, which talks about TMA detecting HCV viremia missed by PCR. |
