How South Africa Used National Cycle Threshold (Ct) Values To Continuously Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Laboratory Test Quality

2023-06-06

Abstract excerpt

The high demand for SARS-CoV-2 tests but limited supply to South African laboratories early in the COVID19 pandemic, resulted in a heterogenous diagnostic footprint of open and closed molecular testing platforms. Novel approaches were required to monitor test quality especially during the introduction of newly circulating variants. The National Health Laboratory Service centrally collected cycle threshold (Ct) val...
