Analytical performance comparison between MP96 and LC 2.0 RNA extraction platforms in serum and urine. a Normal human serum or b urine pooled from healthy donors was contrived with ZIKV at a dilution of 1:10 before the limit of detection (1:10 BLoD), at the limit of detection (LoD), and at 1:10 after the limit of detection (1:10 ALoD). Twenty replicates of each dilution were extracted using the small volume protocol (0.2 mL) and were tested with the Trioplex assay on the ABI7500 Fast Dx instrument. The same serum (c) and urine (d) dilutions were tested on the QuantStudio Dx instrument. Mean genome copy equivalents per milliliter (GCE/mL) of viral RNA detected are displayed at each dilution. Error bars represent GCE/mL standard deviation. Straight line represents linear regression of MP96 platform (Roche). Dashed line represents linear regression of LC 2.0 platform (Roche)
