Cq values obtained on dilutions of plasmid material used for efficiency calculation and for LOD95%.
Copy number of target | Cq (mean value) ± SD (σ) and (n) |
---|---|
5,000 | 26.83 ± 0.06 (24) |
2,500 | 27.85 ± 0.11 (24) |
1,000 | 29.08 ± 0.09 (24) |
500 | 30.08 ± 0.11 (24) |
100 | 32.39 ± 0.23 (24) |
10 | 36.14 ± 0.50 (60) |
For efficiency, each concentration was analyzed in six replicates and on four PCR plates (n = 24). For LOD95%, the concentration at 10 copies was analyzed in 60 replicates on 1 PCR plate (n = 60).
