Does anybody know why ice is used to test for hepatitis c?

I know somebody that got tested for hepatitis c and i was told they used ice to test it. I wonder why that is?

Does anybody know why ice is used to test for hepatitis c?
they used ice to protect and preserve the specimen until it could be tested. ice is not a part of the actual testing process.
Reply:I am familiar with blood tests being done for hep C testing. I have actually never heard of using ice. I would tell her to go to the doctor for a blood test. Here is a site that explains testing for hepatitis.
