About

Hepatitis C diagnostic devices have been developed at the University of Hull to detect and quantify the Hepatitis C virus in patients' plasma and serum samples. This study aims to test the new point-of-care devices that are designed to be low cost and user-friendly.

Excess, stored, HCV patients' plasma, serum and blood samples will be supplied by the Virology laboratory (Hull University Teaching Hospital's Trust; HUTH). These samples were taken and analysed as part of patients' clinical monitoring, and are stored prior to disposal in the Virology laboratory. The proposed study will use the samples in a fully anonymised manner.
