Abstract:Objective To verify the performance indicators of HCV RNA quantitative detection system based on Stream SP96 Automated Nucleic Acid Extractor and ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR System. Methods According to the WS/T 420-2013 Performance Verification Scheme in the Verification of Analytical Performance of Commercial Quantitative Kits by Clinical Laboratory, the Stream SP96 Stream SP96 Automated Nucleic Acid Extractor and ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR System were used to test HCV RNA, and methodological performance verification was performed on the accuracy, precision, linear interval, limit of detection, quantitative limit and anti-interference ability. Results The errors between the mean and target values of the low and high- concentration reference materials were 0.20 and 0.25, respectively, which were less than the logarithmic value of the target value±0.4 log. The intra-batch and inter-batch precision coefficient of variation (CV) values for low-concentration specimens were 0.79% and 1.01%, respectively, and those for high-concentration specimens were 0.52% and 1.22%, respectively, which were all <5%. The linear correlation coefficient r> 0.980, and the linear interval was up to 20-1.0×10 8 , showing good linearity (R 2 =0.997 3). The limit of detection was 20 IU/mL and the lowest limit of quantitation was 50 IU/mL; The interfering substances containing bilirubin (300 mg/L), hemoglobin (300 g/L), and triglyceride (3 000 mg/L) had no effect on the specimen detection results. Conclusion The HCV RNA real-time PCR quantitative testing systems have the accuracy, precision, linear range, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and anti-interference ability in line with the manufacturer’s statement, and they can fully meet the clinical requirements for HCV RNA quantitative testing.
