The customer¿s allegation of discrepant results, could not be reproduced in the investigation.The assay is performing within its clinically-validated claims.Potential causes of the observed discrepant results include, but are not limited to the following: contamination or non-specific amplification: cross-contamination during sample prep could introduce the target into a negative sample.In some cases, sample interferences/contaminants could cause amplification of something other than the target.Sample mix-up.Differences in technology.Device code was updated to non reproducible results.
