Both positive and negative controls are used in pcr experiments. The positive control, a known sample of parasite dna, shows that the primers have attached to the dna strand. The negative control, a sample without dna, shows if contamination of the pcr experiment with foreign dna has occurred. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

The significance of ana has to be judged against the background of clinical situation. It is a screening rather than a diagnostic test.
