Ct Values differ from kit to kit, lab to lab, Collection Process and transportaion conditions and other factors.
1. COVID-19 detection requires identifying 3 genes; however 2 genes sepcific to SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19) are sufficient for a positive detection.
2. E-gene gene is for the detection of Sarbecovirus (Genus B-betacoronavirus) as a first line test. RdRp gene or N-gene are for detection of severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and are the confirmatory tests.
Limitations of the Test: Performance of 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel has only been established in upper and lower respiratory specimens
(nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory tract aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage, and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate).
Correlate Clinically.
