Plate holding RNA samples for testing and RT-qPCR (reverse transcription – quantitative polymerase chain reaction) reagents. This plate is inserted into the LightCycler instrument, which carries out the RT-qPCR reaction. The RNA is transformed into DNA, then amplified. The aim is to find out whether there is HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in the sample, and in what quantity.
