Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus by the technique Inno_LiPA HCV from Innogenetics _ Incubation in a thermostated attritor TwinCubator, Hain Lifescience. Hepatitis C virus HCV includes numerous genotypes and subtypes , the nature of the treatment and its duration are different functions of the subtype. This technique enables to identify the six major genotypes and their subtypes. A reverse amplification RT_PCR of the viral RNA is undertaken on a sample of patient, then the amplified fragments are detected by specific sounds of each subtypes hybridization with immobilized specific oligonucleotids on a membrane of nitrocellulosis in an incubator, revelation by colorimetry biotin_streptavidine. Here, incubation for the hybridization in a thermostated attritor. See image 0104108 for the result.
