Approximately what % of samples require sequencing once they go through the PCR test?

Positivity rate

The positivity rate of samples in PCR depends immensely on the sample material and may range between 20-50%.

• How many sequencing reactions are needed per sample?

  Sequencing For every sample with a positive 16S PCR, there are two sequencing reactions based on two sequencing primers, SeqGN16 and SeqGP16. This allows the identification of up to two pathogens, mainly separated into Gram-negative and Gram-positive ...
