Roche HIV DNA PCR
LDMS supports version 1.0 and 1.5 of the Roche HIV DNA PCR (version 1.0 is simply labeled Roche HIV DNA PCR without a version number). These assays are found under the category DNA PCR on the Assay Selection tab.
Before you begin
To run a DNA assay in LDMS, you must rename the two VQA blinded controls at the beginning of the assay plate to match the actual VQA blinded controls that you will be using. If you add more VQA blinded controls, those will need to be renamed as well.
About this task
Figure: Blind control well. A VQA blinded control well as it appears in LDMS. Notice that the expected value (E:) is hidden and the control is labeled as BLND.

Procedure
Results
When running the assay, LDMS expects 2 different results files: one for the specimen plate and another for the control plate. Single plate runs require special consideration and setup.
After reading all plates in the assay's output, LDMS will show you the results on the Results tab. You can generate an exportable version of these results by clicking the Reports button from the LDMS toolbar.
