All participants received standardized protocols, including detailed instructions for completing the study. Laboratories were supplied with sterile PCR-grade OmniPur water (VWR, Radnor, PA), 1.7 ml Axygen MaxyClear microcentrifuge tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY), SRM 2917 (NIST, Gaithersburg, MD), internal amplification control (IAC) for multiplex HF183/BacR287, HumM2, and CowM2 qPCR assays (102 copies/2 μL), a 1.5 mL aliquot of 2 mg/ml bovine serum albumin fraction V stock solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific), primer/hydrolysis probe stock solutions for each qPCR assay (Table 1), MicroAmp optical 96-well reaction plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific), MicroAmp optical adhesive film (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and TaqMan Environmental Master Mix 2.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Participants were required to use a StepOnePlus, 7500, 7500 Fast Dx, 7500 Fast, QuantStudio 3, QuantStudio 5, or QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx real-time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Using the required supplies, participants were instructed to (i) generate six calibration curves for each qPCR assay on separate instrument runs and (ii) submit data to the EPA (Cincinnati, OH). Participants were instructed to perform all experiments within 30 days.

RT-qPCR Assay for SARS-CoV-2 Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We conducted RT-qPCR analysis using 20 μL reactions consisting of 5 μL template, 7 μL nuclease-free water, 5 μL TaqPath 1-Step RT-qPCR Master Mix (4×), and 1.5 μL of each N1 and N2 primer/probe mix from the 2019-nCoV CDC EUA kit (42 ) at a final concentration of 1.125 μM. We performed analysis using the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast (Dx) real-time PCR system with a cycling condition of 2 min at 95°C followed by 45 cycles of 3 s at 95°C and 30 s at 55°C. SARS-CoV-2 RNA quantification was conducted using a 5-point standard curve generated from serial dilutions of the CDC EUA 2019-nCoV positive control, ranging from 20 copies/rxn to 1 × 105 copies/rxn. The required standard curve criteria were an efficiency between 80 and 120% and R2 greater than 0.98. We monitored the stability, method performance, and quantitative consistency by recording the CT of the 1 × 105 copies/rxn standard well longitudinally at a predetermined threshold.

Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from HCT-116p53+/+ and HCT-116p53−/− cells by using DNAzol® Reagent (Thermo Scientific) and quantified using the Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Monitoring Primer Set (Takara Bio, Mountain View, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Primer sets for ND1 and ND5 were used for the detection of mtDNA, and the primer sets SLCO2B1 and SERPINA1were used for the detection of nuclear DNA. The quantitation of mtDNA copy number was performed using a 7500 FastDX (Applied Biosystems, MA, USA) and the power SYBR green PCR master mix (Applied Biosystem, Warrington WA1 4SR, UK).

SARS-CoV-2 Qualitative Detection Using Multiple PCR Systems

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 using both regular and Fast approaches, 3 different real time PCR systems including QuantStudio™5, Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast Dx, and CFX96 Touch Real-Time Detection System were used. A PCR reaction volume of 20μl containing 10μl Mastermix, 1.5μl Primer & Probe solution mix, and 8.5μl extracted RNA sample from a suspected SAR-CoV-2 patient was run on each of the mentioned thermal cyclers. Thermal cycling profile and ramp rate were optimized for each PCR system and have been elaborated as follows.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
