PCR sensitivity range

having a hard time finding a lab that does a Quant PCR below 43 IU.
Labcorp temporarily shut down NGI QuataSure/UltraQual.

Anybody know a lab that does a more sensitive PCR , possibly in NY merto area ?

thanks Dave,
the longer you stay on this stuff the ruffer it gets. 2 more weeks and it is
halftime for me. Something tells me round 2 is where the real work begins.

I recently has the NGI test done and it took 2 full weeks to get the results back.  Our plan now is to have regular labcorp PCRs done and substitute  a monthly or bimonthly NGI test once reaching UND.

guess I love HCV - overkill
anyway , the last time I ran this test was for wk4 meeting and I ended up seeing
my Dr. without having a PCR result ready because of scheduling
