Özet
Aim: Serologic tests having high sensitivity and specificity are used in order to prevent contamination with infectious agents from blood and blood products for transfusion safety. The present serologic tests have problems such as low sensitivity and weak detection capacity of infectious agents in the "window period". We aimed to test the use of NAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) in routine blood screening in the Blood Bank.
