Comparison of the sensitivity between the Hi3-1 Multiplex and the Architect system with performance panel sera (panel 3).

Performance panelNumber of panel membersThe Hi3-1 Multiplex kitThe Architect system

PRB205 (anti-HIV 1 mixed titer panel)252223
PRF203 (anti-HIV 2 panel)111010
PHV106 (anti-HCV low titer panel)141011
PHV207 (anti-HCV mixed titer panel)252223

Two samples of PRB205, one sample of PRF203, one sample of PHV 106, and two samples of PHV207 are characterized by the supplier as negative and were tested nonreactive by the Hi3-1 and the Architect assay.
