Serum Linearity for the Aptima Assay. Assay linearity for genotypes 1 to 6 was established by diluting armored RNA or HCV positive clinical specimens in HCV negative serum from 8.08 log IU/mL to below 1 log IU/mL. Armored RNA was used to make panels above 6 log IU/mL. Clinical specimens were used to make lower concentrations with multiple levels of overlapping concentrations for armored RNA and clinical specimen dilutions. The data for the armored RNA dilutions and the clinical specimen dilutions was combined for each genotype to generate the data shown in the figure
