SARS Cov-2 RT-PCR
SARS Cov-2 PCR (nucleic acid test) Negative. Not detected Negative. Not detected
Note
1. PCR detects viral genetic material without being able to
distinguish between live and dead viruses, therefore CT values
cannot confirm whether a patient is infectious or not.
2. PCR results cannot be compared between different instruments
and genes.
3. The CT value for determining positive and negative results
corresponds to the threshold value set by each kit.
4. The CT value is determined by several factors, so it is
necessary to be careful in interpretation.
