Endpoint fluorescence values for DNA standards subjected to Non-Instrumented Nucleic Acid Amplification with Assimilating Probe. Reactions were run at ambient temperatures of 8°C (blue circles), 22°C (green triangles), and 36°C (red squares), with standards classified as positive designated by filled symbols those classified as negative by open symbols. Pooled data fit a logistic curve (a=41400 RFU; b=−1.69; x0=122 fg; y0=14390 RFU; R2=0.92, RMSE=5314 RFU) resulting in a detection limit of 92 fg DNA (vertical solid line, equivalent to 18 copies of the S. enterica genome). A single genome copy equivalent (5.1 fg) is represented by the vertical dashed line.
