Pcr Test Result Not Detected What Does That Mean. A PCR test called the Flu SC2 Multiplex Assay can detect any of three viruses at the same time. The lab process for the PCR test takes just a few hours.
Neither target 1 or target 2 were detected. This could result in PCR positive but it does not mean that the virous is virulent or infectious rather it means that residues and non active viral RNA is still detectable by PCR. The Mayo clinic put together a page explaining what PCR testing is but Ill go ahead and briefly summarise the process in a more simplified way.
A negative result means the test did not find signs of coronavirus.
