Hepatitis C diagnostic devices have been developed at the University of Hull to detect and quantify the Hepatitis C virus in patients' plasma and serum samples. This study aims to test the new point-of-care devices that are designed to be low cost and user-friendly.
Excess, stored, HCV patients' plasma, serum and blood samples will be supplied by the Virology laboratory (Hull University Teaching Hospital's Trust; HUTH). These samples were taken and analysed as part of patients' clinical monitoring, and are stored prior to disposal in the Virology laboratory. The proposed study will use the samples in a fully anonymised manner.

| Validation of Microfluidic device with serum and plasma | A new paper and electrochemical microfluidic device was tested with serum and plasma samples from known HCV positive samples and normal controls. The controls allowed a threshold level to be determined and all plasma and serum samples gave positive results and these were correlated with the previously acquired clinical data. | 30 minutes |
