- Introduction: In the diagnosis and treatment of Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV, it is crucial to detect and quantify viral nucleic acid. Patients on therapy are monitored continuously to out-rule relapses or reinfections (HCV) while for patients with HIV these tests are important to early on detect potential break-throughs due to resistance development. Quantification methods are today more standardized and fast but still with no opportunity to analyze the samples with full random access. Recently the VERIS MDxTMplatform from Beckman Coulter with this possibility was launched.Objectives: To evaluate a new, random access laboratory instrument for the simultaneous detection and quantification of HBV, HCV and HIV-1.Methods: WHO standards for HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA and HIV-1-RNA provided from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) were diluted down to the designated lowest level of detection and analyzed in triplicates on the Veris MDxTM(Beckman Coulter Inc. 250 S. Kraemer Blvd. Brea, CA U.S.A.) instrument. Plasma samples from routine laboratory testing were analyzed and compared to the routine methods used at our hospital or the referral hospital, for HBV; COBAS®AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan®HBV Test, v2.0 (Roche Molecular Diagnostics, 4300 Hacienda Drive, Pleasanton, CA, USA) (Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge), for HCV; COBAS® TaqMan®HCV Test v2.0 for use with the High Pure System (Roche) (Örebro) and for HIV; Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx Assay (Hologic Inc. 250 Campus Drive Marlborough, MA, USA) (Örebro). 55 samples for HBV, 120 samples for HCV and 60 samples for HIV have been analyzed so far. The absolute majority of samples for HCV and HIV analysis were from patients on treatment. All viral load data were analyzed as log10-transformed values.Results: The Veris MDxTMshowed good compatibility to the designated quantities of the WHO standards (except for HIV-1 where a slight over-quantification could be observed for dilutions in the higher range, i.e. >1000 copies/mL). The limits of detection assigned by the manufacturer could be confirmed. In clinical samples the Veris MDxTM showed similar results to the comparators with a correlation for quantifiable samples of 0.94 (HBV), 0.98 (HCV) and 0.98 (HIV). The Veris MDxTMshowed a slightly higher sensitivity though as DNA/RNA was detected in 4 samples for HBV, 8 for HCV and 7 for HIV when the comparator method did not. The opposite was seen in 0, 0 and 6 samples respectively.Conclusion: The Veris MDxTMfor quantitative analysis of HBV, HCV and HIV nucleic acids showed good correlation to the comparator methods used in this study with a tendency of higher sensitivity for the detection of HBV and HCV. The Instrument provides an easy, fast and flexible method for quantification of RNA and DNA in plasma samples.
