Cq values obtained on dilutions of genomic material used for efficiency calculation and for LOD95%.
| Copy number of target | Cq (mean value) ± SD (σ) and (n) |
|---|---|
| 5,000 | 27.55 ± 0.07 (24) |
| 2,500 | 28.60 ± 0.07 (24) |
| 1,000 | 29.87 ± 0.09 (24) |
| 500 | 30.89 ± 0.12 (24) |
| 100 | 33.21 ± 0.19 (24) |
| 10 | 36.78 ± 0.48 (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).
