SARS-CoV-2 detection by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction testing: Analysis of false positive results and recommendations for quality control measures

4 Aug 2021

Abstract excerpt

Testing for SARS-CoV-2 has become a critical component for the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays are currently the predominate method for testing. Quality control (QC) measures utilize known positive and known negative controls to ensure the adequacy of extraction and RT-PCR steps but do not evaluate all components of testing. We have conducted a...
