Median signal strengtha on samples with HPV infections detected by one assay, two assays, or three assaysb
| Assay(s) by which samples were found HPV positive | No. of samples | Median (IQR) CT value |
|---|---|---|
| One assay (Onclarity) | 45 | 31.42 (29.80–33.28) |
| Two assays | ||
| Onclarity and CLART | 45 | 30.05 (28.58–31.72) |
| Onclarity and HC2 | 9 | 25.45 (20.22–25.89) |
| All three assays (Onclarity, CLART, and HC2) | 44 | 23.47 (21.50–24.91) |

CT value on the genotype-specific well with the strongest signal.
b
For 964 samples, all three assays (Onclarity, CLART, and HC2) gave valid results. In total, 166 samples (17.2%) were HPV positive on at least one of the assays (Fig. 1). Of these, 143 (86.1%) were positive by Onclarity, with CT values available for reporting.
