Molecular Diagnostics
• Diagnostic Sensitivity – ability to detect a disease
• Diagnostic Specificity – degree to which an assay is negative when the disease is absent
• Analytical Sensitivity – lowest detection limit
• Analytical Specificity – check cross reactivity with other organisms
• Reproducibility – Intra & Inter batch variations

False Positives & Negatives
• Contaminated lab reagents & equipment
• Environmental contamination
• Mixed infections
• Timing of collection
• Inhibitory substances

False negatives in PCR
• Specimen level
▪ Inhibitory substances e.g. haem, storage
▪ Specimen
▪ Paucibacillary samples
▪ Unequal distribution in
samples
• Extraction level
▪ Loss of DNA
▪ Insufficient lysis
▪ Reagents - SDS, ethanol
▪ Improper vortexing
• PCR level
▪ Less Mg 2+ ions
▪ Incomplete denaturation
▪ Incorrect primer sequence.
▪ Poor thermal conductivity
• Others
▪ Glove powder

Proficiency Testing & Quality Management
• Standards must be equivalent
• Signal to noise ratio monitoring
• External proficiency testing
• Rigorous quality control
• Specimen stability & integrity (storage times, transport times, anticoagulants used)
• QA of equipments
