Sensitivity of Detection with Hpol Quantitation Assay

Input Amount	% Detection
1 copy	56%^*
3 copies	73%
5 copies	97%
10 copies	100%

Hpol RNA templates were diluted to the estimated copy number and detection frequencies determined from analysis of 6 replicates at each dilution in 5 independent quantitation assays (total of 30 replicates per dilution).

55.6% detection fits expected Poisson probability of one copy detection rate ⁽²²⁾; observed versus expected rates of detection were not statistically different (Yates-corrected X² 1.461, p > 0.20)
