What Is a Cq (Ct) Value? - Bitesize Bio
Jul 16, 2015 · Real-time PCR (often called qPCR) is usually conducted to quantify the absolute amount of a target sequence or to compare relative amounts of a target sequence between samples. This technique monitors amplification of the target in real-time via a target-specific fluorescent signal emitted during amplification. Despite the fact that real-time PCR fluorescent dyes and probes should be sequence ...

and PCR enzymes when these materials are present in nucleic acid samples used for molecular testing. Thus, for sensitive molecular detection of waterborne microbes without prior culture, nucleic acid (i.e., DNA and/or RNA) must be effectively ex tracted from microbial cells …
WHO Nucleic acid amplification-based diagnostics
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) enable sensitive detection of low density malaria infections (below 1 parasite/µL). Use of NAATs can be broadly divided into 4 roles qualitative or quantitative parasite detection, determination of the multiplicity of infection, genotyping to distinguish recrudescence from reinfection, and

We examined automated nucleic acid purification from these samples for molecular assays. DNA isolate by Maxwell ® 16 and analyzed for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea (CT/NG) by real-time PCR showed a high correlation to replicate samples assayed by either Roche COBAS ® AMPLICOR or Gen-Probe APTIMA Combo 2 ® Assays in ...
Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis by Nucleic Acid ...
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are the most sensitive tests for screening and diagnosis of chlamydial and gonococcal infections of the genital tract (1, 4, 10, 11, 15, 20-22).However, questions have been raised about their specificity, particularly when screening low-prevalence populations (3, 5, 12).In 2002, these concerns led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ...
Multicenter study of nucleic acid amplification tests for ...
In adults, nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are superior to culture for CT, but these tests have been insufficiently evaluated in pediatric populations for forensic purposes. METHODS We evaluated the use of NAATs, using urine and genital swabs versus culture for diagnosis of CT and NG in children evaluated for sexual abuse in 4 US cities.
Recommendations for the Laboratory-Based Detection of ...
BOX 1. Summary of recommendations. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) that are cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are recommended for detection of genital tract infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections in men and women with and without symptoms. For detecting these infections of the genital tract, optimal specimen types for NAATs are ...
