2. Figure 1
The decision tree for interpretation of BBP OpenArray results. This flow diagram indicates the series of questions that would be asked of each assay result, then the results of each pair of assays that detect a particular pathogen to determine whether the results indicate that pathogen has been detected. The flow initiates at the upper left corner. Ct Con, Ct confidence (a measure of the quality of the amplification curve). Asterisk: One exception to this rule is made for the P. falciparum assays, which have a higher level of specificity; Cq values up to 35 are accepted to indicate the presence of that pathogen.
