The OraSure^® Collection System

The sample collected is an ultra-filtrate of blood known as Oral Mucosal Transudate (OMT) and as such offers a really accurate option to identify an individual’s status for blood borne viruses. Now you only need to collect blood samples for further investigation where infection and/or infectivity have already been identified.

The samples are analysed at a CPA accredited specialist virology laboratory for the main blood borne viruses:

	Hepatitis C: Anti-HCV
	Hepatitis B: Anti-HBcore & HBsAg
	HIV: Anti-HIV types 1, 2 and subtype 0

We can also screen OraSure^® samples for the presence of antibodies to the syphilis infection.

The sample can be collected by any member of staff trained to do so by Altrix.
