Long‐term stability and reproducibility of frozen plasma control samples for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and human immunodeficiency virus by quantitative PCR: Implications for retrospective testing in hemovigilance

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Data on the long‐term stability and reproducibility of nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT) results in frozen stored positive samples (≤−20°C) remain limited. This study evaluated the long‐term performance of frozen virus‐positive samples in quantitative PCR assays and aimed to provide evidence for their analytical reliability in
