This amplification kit detects Newcastle Disease Virus via Real TimePCR. This allows absolute quantification or a qualitativeassay.Real Time PCR is based on fluorogenic dyes. Ct valuesbetween 12 - 36 should be taken as positive. Values between 36 - 40 Ct should be taken as marginal positive. Ct values above 40 must be considered as negative
