Viral RNA was automatically extracted from 200 μL of the NPS specimens using the MagMAXTM Viral/Pathogen II Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vilnius, Lithuania) on KingFisher (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RT-qPCR was performed using TaqPath™ COVID-19 multiplex real-time RT-PCR test (the Orf1ab, N and S genes) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Negative and positive controls were run simultaneously with samples [2 (link)]. The assay was performed using a QuantStudio 5 real-time PCR detection system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Test results were reported quantitatively as cycle threshold (Ct) value of the ORF1ab, the N and the S genes, while qualitative data were reported as positive/negative at test cut-off (i.e., Ct < 37 for positive or ≥ 37 for negative samples). The Ct values used to classify specimens as ‘high viral load’, ‘medium viral load’ and ‘low viral load’ defined as previously described [7 (link),21 (link)], they were <18.57, 18.57–28.67 and >28.67, respectively.

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.
