Expected output
Purified viral RNA across the plate at consistent recovery, ready for RT-qPCR detection panels. Vision-verified washes reduce well-to-well variability that can shift Cq values near the limit of detection.
QC metrics & targets
| Metric | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| Recovery | Consistent across the plate |
| Sensitivity | Cq stable near LoD vs. manual |
| Contamination | Clean negative controls |
Vision verification: each magnet step and wash is confirmed on camera — important near the limit of detection, where an incomplete wash can mean a missed positive.
