Abbott Diagnostics recently expanded the infectious disease menu for its AxSYM® automated immunoassay system with the introduction of the AxSYM Anti-HCV test. The test is designed to detect the known genotypes of HCV and provides results within 23 minutes. The AxSYM Anti-HCV test further expands AxSYM’s hepatitis menu, joining two fully automated tests for the hepatitis A virus: the AxSYM HAVAB-M™ 2.0 assay and the AxSYM HAVAB® 2.0 assay.
