I do a 100 or more PRC Covid tests a day. We still use 40 cycles. I check every day to see if it’s been changed.
lol after 40 cycles, you can find elephant dna
I agree. My point...they (we,I) are still running 40 cycles.
Uh, why?
It’s my job.
I don't know why I asked that question. Maybe at the time I was wondering if you could change the cycle rate to 17 cycles or 20. Guess you can't or you would have by now. Dumb question. Don't know what my frame of mind was at the time. Yes, I have read over and over that 40 cycles will make a grapefruit test positive.
Food to know.
Guess you guys don't read the CDC website or ignore it?
You make it sound like we can just go turn a knob to change the test methodology. It doesn’t work that way. The CDC doesn’t make rules, they give recommendations. The FDA controls al that shit. Stay in your lane you dumb fuck.
Sorry but once it leaves your area and entered into a massive database, you have no idea which tests YOU did or 100 other testers out there. Nice try
What the fuck do you mean “nice try”. It’s my job you dumb shit. I know exactly what fucking test I did. I use the Cephiad GenXpert PCR platform. We still are running 40 cycles. The results go to the patients chart. The daily result tallies are sent to the state health department. You dumb ass.
Can you read and comprehend? Re-read my comment and get back with me captain genius.
