Abstract
We have comparatively evaluated Quantiplex version 3.0 and version 2.0 on 1 33 plasma samples and a repetitive dilution series. Version 3.0 yielded hig her human immunodeficieny virus RNA values, and the ratio of version 3.0 re sults to version 2.0 results decreased from 3.47 below 1,000 copies/ml to 1 .97 above 50,000 copies/ml [linear regression, log (version 3.0) = 0.915 0.871 x log (version 2.0); r(2) = 0,952].
