Automated advanced results algorithm
Manual interpretation of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data is associated with subjectivity. To further ensure reliable results, the cobas® z 480 Analyzer applies an automated advanced results algorithm that interprets three key aspects of PCR data:
Growth curve shape
Growth curve height (curve amplitude)
Cycle threshold (Ct value)
