Influenza virus A H3 RNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection

FLUAV H3 RNA Ct Spec Qn NAA+probe

Definition

The quantitative cross/cycle threshold (Ct) value may be reported for real-time PCR-based assays. The value is defined by the number of PCR cycles required for the fluorescent signal of a given product (targeted RNA) to cross the threshold (i.e. exceed background level). In general, the lower the Ct value, the greater the amount of targeted nucleic acid and vice versa. The interpretation (e.g. positive, negative, indeterminate) is determined based on a cut-off value. The submitter's lab reports the interpretation in OBX.8 segment and the specimen type in SPM.4 field of HL7 messaging.
