LaboratoryHuman RNase P RNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Respiratory system specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Human RNase P is used as an internal control with human clinical specimens to confirm that nucleic acid was adequately extracted from. Possible specimens include: upper respiratory tract clinical specimens (including nasopharyngeal swabs, nasal swabs, throat swabs, nasal aspirates, nasal washes, and dual nasopharyngeal/throat swabs), and lower respiratory tract specimens (including bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchial wash, tracheal aspirate, sputum, and lung tissue.
