The main objective of this study was to compare the resultant analytical sensitivity and quantitative performance of the serum SARS-CoV RNA test when either the manual or automated extraction protocol was used. The modified large volume protocol with the external lysis step was further compared with the external lysis protocol of the total nucleic acid isolation kit using a transport medium mixture containing 10 6 copies/mL of inactivated SARS-CoV. Serially diluted inactivated SARS-CoV isolate in transport medium was extracted by both the column-based manual method and the MagNA Pure LC instrument using the modified large volume protocol with external lysis. ./cache/cord-324638-gwd8qin6.txt ./txt/cord-324638-gwd8qin6.txt
