The challenges we experience professionally always teach us to retreat, to document ourselves, to learn, to become better and to succeed in asserting ourselves in the fields we have trained and perfected throughout several years. This also happened in the pandemic times with Covid19, when we had to document RT-PCR techniques in order to be able to detect at the molecular level the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for disturbing the world worldwide. Thus, in the molecular biology laboratory, analysts must make very important decisions about the final result of the RT-PCR test to determine – given several analytical criteria – whether the result is negative, positive or equivocal. There are situations where the RT-PCR equipment does not detect all the genes responsible for a clearly positive result, or when the cycle threshold (Ct) is higher than specified in the reagent insert kit, and then it is the analyst's duty to decide what is the final result of molecular test. This paper brings to the fore the involvement, duty and the art of researchers and specialists who must assume the final result of the RT-PCR test in the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the global pandemic of Covid-19.
