Optimization of the reaction conditions for CALIBURN-v2. (A) Schematic presentation of CALIBURN-v2 for closed-lid pathogen detection, showing reaction conditions to be optimized. (B,C) The effects of incubation time of RT-RPA (B) and Cas12a (C) reaction on the final signal readout. (D) Screening the optimal concentrations for RNase H. (E) Comparison of the assay efficiency using different Cas12a reaction buffers. (F–H) Effect of Cas12a reaction temperature (F), the mixing ratio between RT-RPA and Cas12a reaction (G), and the sequences of ssDNA reporters (H) on the assay performance. (I) Comparison of the sensitivity of the assay before and after optimization. The black dotted line represents the threshold, which is set as the mean of NTC plus 3-fold standard deviation (SD). Target, SARS-CoV-2 IVT N gene RNA (1 nM). NTC, non-template control. The data from three biological replicates are shown as mean ± SD.
