cobas® HBV RNA (RUO)

For the detection and quantitation of HBV RNA levels
cobas HVB RNA product thumbnail

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening viral liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV).

The World Health Organization estimates that 296 million people were living with chronic HBV infection in 2019, with 1.5 million new infections.1 HBV RNA is a promising biomarker for researchers and clinicians working to better understand HBV disease levels and progression.

cobas® HBV RNA can be used to support scientific research to understand the potential uses of this new biomarker.

cobas® HBV RNA for use on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems is an automated real-time RT-PCR assay for the in vitro quantitative detection of circulating HBV RNA in EDTA plasma and serum.

cobas® HBV RNA is intended for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Intended use

Intended use

cobas® HBV RNA for use on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems (cobas® HBV RNA) is an automated real-time RT-PCR assay for the in vitro quantitative detection of circulating HBV RNA in EDTA plasma and serum.

cobas® HBV RNA is intended for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.

cobas® HBV RNA can be used to support scientific research to understand the potential use of this new biomarker.

cobas® HBV RNA is a quantitative automated real-time RT-PCR test that is run on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems. cobas® HBV RNA enables the detection and quantitation of HBV RNA in EDTA plasma and serum of infected specimens. The viral load is quantified against a non-HBV RNA quantitation standard (RNA-QS), which is introduced into each specimen during sample processing.

Registration status
