The Ct (cycle threshold) is defined as the number of cycles
required for the fluorescent signal to cross the threshold (i.e. exceeds
background level). Ct levels are inversely proportional to the amount of
nucleic acid in the sample (i.e. the lower the Ct level the greater the amount
of target nucleic acid in the sample).
