quantification cycle (Cq)

Definition

Depending on the real-time instrument, either threshold cycle (Ct), crossing point (Cp) or a take-off point (Top) are used to refer to the same quantification cycle value (Cq): the fractional PCR cycle at which the target is quantified in a given sample. It was proposed to use the term quantification cycle (Cq) in accordance with the data standard RDML (Real-Time PCR Data Markup Language)
