The q16 also automatically calculates the sensitivity
of the test. The quality of your DNA sample will affect
the sensitivity of testing that is possible. With a good
quality sample, highly sensitive testing is possible.
With a poor quality sample then testing becomes less
sensitive. The figure displayed in the "Sensitivity" field
shows the minimum percentage level at which results
should be considered reliable. e.g. If the test sensitivity
is 0.1 then any result reporting a % of target >0.1 can be
considered accurate. But if less than 0.1% of the target
species is reported the result may not be accurate and
the software will not produce a report.
See page 32 to understand "What do my results mean?"
and for a troubleshooting guide.
Detection test results
When carrying out a genesig
EASY detection test, quantitative
analysis is carried out
automatically. The number of
copies of the target genome
for each positive sample is
calculated and displayed in the
"Copy number" field.
