Each objective is a practical interpretation skill for clinical molecular laboratory reporting.

  • Recognize low-target situations near the assay limit of detection or quantification
  • Apply assay-validated categories (including inconclusive/indeterminate when defined) instead of informal soft calls
  • Avoid unsupported certainty when communicating borderline or low-level findings
