SoGAT Conversion factors between IU and copies/ml are assay specific Conversion factors of the WHO collaborative studies; the mean of different nucleic acid extraction techniques and amplification/detection systems (considerable interlaboratory variation) Molecular composition of the reference material Physical composition reference materials. Liquid versus lyophilized reference materials Commutability of reference materials; knowledge of molecular characteristics of preparations is necessary Preliminary conclusion: conversion factors from IU to VQC-geq assay specific
