“We first piloted dried blood
spot testing with Concateno
in 2008, and have found the
method to be easy to use and
straightforward, as getting
venous blood from our client
group can be difficult. We
value Concateno’s BBV
screening service and are
very pleased.”

East Kent (2011)
Each positive screen is followed by a confirmation test.
*A PCR test is carried out when requested on the test request form and then only when there
is a ‘reactive’ Hepatitis C test result.
