  1. DNA samples from positive and negative controls along with four unknown samples were assayed using the H13 kit using both 10 and 20ul volumes. The Ct values are shown as well as the interpretation of HPV status
  2. ND not detected
  3. athe negative control is DNase-free distilled water from the kit
