Precise quantitation of B19V DNA and high sensitivity for HAV RNA

The cobas® DPX Test is a multi-dye, duplex real-time PCR test for parvovirus B19 (B19V) and hepatitis A virus (HAV), for use on the cobas® 6800 and 8800 Systems.

Features and benefits

Features of the cobas® DPX test
  • Detects B19V genotypes 1, 2, and 3, and hepatitis A genotypes I, II and III
  • Broad linear dynamic range across 7 logs of concentration for parvovirus B19
  • B19V titer limits adjustable, based on pool size, to appropriately prompt pool deconstruction
  • Utilizes a WHO traceable international standard to provide quantitative results for B19V
