Dried blood spot self-sampling at home is a feasible technique for hepatitis C RNA detection.

Dried blood spot self-sampling at home is a feasible technique for hepatitis C RNA detection.

To facilitate HCV diagnosis, we developed an HCV-RNA testing service, which involved home-sampled dried blood spots (DBS). The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of self-sampling at home. Furthermore, to optimise the processing of DBS samples for RNA detection, we evaluated...
