Example of use of the Fungitell® STAT standard to calculate the ratio or index.
| Categorical examples | 405–495 slope (OD/s) | 405–495 intercept | 405–495 r-value | Ratio/index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Positive | 0.000334 | −0.3042 | 0.9998 | 2.21 |
| B Indeterminate | 0.000165 | −0.1558 | 0.9994 | 1.09 |
| C Fungitell STAT™ standard | 0.000151 | −0.1429 | 0.9994 | 1.00 |
| D Indeterminate | 0.000120 | −0.1100 | 0.9989 | 0.79 |
| E Negative | 0.000069 | −0.0595 | 0.9938 | 0.46 |
This patient sample index corresponds to either a negative, indeterminate, or positive result according to the clinical reference index ranges (see Table 3). The slope, intercept and r-values are evaluated as part of the general sample QC evaluation. Details provided with QC criteria in Supplementary File 1. These data are from Figure 1.
