“…The second batch (N = 383) was tested at AML laboratory, Antwerp, Belgium, using the TaqMan-based qPCR assay (RIATOL, Sonic Healthcare Benelux, Antwerp, Belgium) which detects 17 HPV genotypes and β -globin in seven multiplex reactions. These HPV types include all 12 high-risk types (HPV16, 18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59), three probably high-risk types (HPV53, 66 and 68), one low-risk type (HPV6) and one undetermined risk type (HPV67) [32]. All HC2 positive and a subset of HC2 negatives samples were retested using the TaqMan-based qPCR assay.…”
