Frequently Asked Questions
- How much do you charge for the SIV virus load (QRT-PCR) assay?
The cost for the QRT-PCR assay is $25 per sample. - What sorts of samples should I provide for SIV virus load assays?
Samples for the virus load assay should be cell-free tissue culture supernatant or EDTA-anticoagulated plasma. For questions about detecting SIV nucleic acids in other sample types, please contact us. - How can I arrange to have samples tested for SIV virus load?
Contact Dr. Friedrich to arrange for SIV diagnostics.
