The symbol < means "less than"
The minimum they report is less than .05(<.05)They consider that undetectable
They don't do ultra sensitive levels. Ultra sensitive testing is considered noise to some as it provides no diagnostic significance, ie, actionable. So they test to detectable levels as noted and only show if below as being (<0.05ng).
If you want ultra-sensitive PSA testing you could do it on your own and track it yourself. Some states, like NY, restrict that though... Which I'll never understand! But then you'd just need your doctor to provide a script for it and then go to a lab, etc.
