Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are common blood-borne diseases. Accordingly, testing to exclude these two diseases, along with HIV or other diseases, is a mandatory requirement for receiving donated blood units. If in the past, the “window period” was a big concern, today, with NAT testing, this is no longer too difficult.

NAT testing is an advanced testing technology that helps determine the cause of disease quickly and accurately. This is a leap forward from the success of gene identification and sequencing techniques.
