Another thing that I just thought of with the level of error with the
POCT test is that after our show here in Pittsburgh in June, where we
were using the POCT to instant test show ferrets, I thought that Dr
Stephon mentioned that he'd added a new thing to his instant tests
where the control line tests for ferret proteins (regular ones) and
if the sample doesn't have enough saliva, then the control line
wouldn't form. This was to save the problems of a false negative if
the sample doesn't get enough actual saliva in the saline solution.
Is this correct?
