Factors Contributing to Variability of Quantitative Viral PCR Results in Proficiency Testing Samples: a Multivariate Analysis

Abstract excerpt

While viral load testing has gained widespread acceptance, a primary limitation remains the variability of results, particularly between different laboratories. While some work has demonstrated the importance of standardized quantitative control material in reducing this variability, little has been done to explore other important factors in the molecular amplification process. Results of 185 laboratories...
