Paired analysis of pool and individual tests.
(A) Results for samples analyzed in parallel as pools and as individual tests. (B) Total number of positive samples for each positive pool. (C) Correlation between the number of positive samples within a given pool and the corresponding pool Cq (R: Pearson’s corr. coefficient; ⍴: Spearman’s rank corr. coefficient). Points were colored by the total number of individuals within the pool (pool size). (D) Cycle quantification values for positive pools and corresponding positive individual samples.
