FIGURE 3.

The sensitivity of CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection. (A) Fluorescence intensity for plasmid templates of RPA reactions with different concentrations. (B) Intensity of fluorescence signals generated after 15 min (30 kinetics cycles) of CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection at each dilution. The negative control has RNase-free water as an input instead of RPA production. Data are the mean ± SD from triplicate biological replicates measurements. Comparisons between the groups were made using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Tukey’s test. Different letters above the error bars indicate significant differences at the 0.05 level. RPA, recombinant polymerase amplification; SD, standard deviation.
