Quality Control in RT-PCR Viral Load Assays: Evaluation of Analytical Performance for HIV, HBV, and HCV.

The study highlights the challenge of defining analytical specifications without sufficient biological variability data. Model 5 is deemed the most suitable. The analytical performance of the RT-PCR system for HIV, HBV, and HCV at LACEN-CE demonstrated satisfactory, emphasizing the importance of continuous quality control in molecular biology methodologies.
