Herpes Simplex and Varicella Zoster Viruses
Fast, Efficient, and Accurate Processing for PCR Detection
Results: Comparison of Amplification Crossing Points
December 2009
The crossing points with the NB method were also equal or lower than those using the M5 extraction methods, again showing that the NB method is at least equal to the M5 extraction method yielding amplifiable VZV DNA.
