Performance of two plasma separation devices for HIV-1 viral load measurement in primary healthcare settings

Performance of two plasma separation devices for HIV-1 viral load measurement in primary healthcare settings

ABSTRACT Dried blood spot (DBS) may overestimate the viral RNA, mainly in patients with low viral load (VL), due to proviral DNA and intracellular RNA. The Burnett and HemaSpot provide integrated solutions for the collection, separation, and drying of plasma from whole blood. This study aims to eval...
