PCR Sample Submission PCR Testing Overview
*Note: Submitting less than the required volume will impact the test sensitivity. Tests will be initiated if sample volume is found to be insufficient at time of set-up. However, clients will be provided an opportunity to terminate testing while still being liable for the cost of said test.

M-1500Q Real-Time PCR Matrix Qualification

Any sample submitted for Real-Time PCR analysis should be qualified within the context of the assay to evaluate the effect of the sample matrix on the enrichment procedure and Real-Time PCR performance. This analysis would only need to be conducted once for any given sample unless there are changes in the test article components.
