Application analysis of two nucleic acid detection systems in blood detection of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus
The Kehua and Roche NAT systems demonstrated comparable overall performance in blood screening, with Kehua proving non-inferior to Roche. Kehua's advantages included fewer invalid tests and fewer pooling errors, which could reduce economic and time costs. The Roche system exhibited higher automation, supporting continuous batch processing. The observed CT value-dependent separation efficiency suggests potential for protocol optimization in detecting low viral load samples.
