Oslo University Hospital invites to a tender contest for the procurement of instruments with accompanying reagents for HIV-1 RNA quantifying and HBV DNA quantifying at the Department for Microbiology, the Unit for Molecular diagnostics and virology, OUS Ullevål.

The recommended sample material for HCV/HIV-RNA examinations is EDTA plasma. The durability is 72 hours when using plasma gel tubes centrifuged in accordance with the prevailing packaging attachment. The department receives samples for the relevant analyses from all over Norway. Due to durability, it may then be necessary to reverse the pipetting of the samples prior to instigating analyses, The residue material shall also be archived in a biobank and the Contracting Authority also requests a system for this which is adapted to the use of the analysing instruments.
