Determination of Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Uncertainty of Measurement Using Replicate Analysis and a Graphical User Interface with Fieller’s Theorem

BACKGROUND: Disease monitoring of viruses using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) requires knowledge of the precision of the test to determine what constitutes a significant change. Calculation of quantitative PCR confidence limits requires bivariate statistical methods.
