Multiplexing primer/probe sets for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by qRT-PCR 2020-06-08 .txt text/plain 1390 99 50  -Of all 356 samples tested, triplexing demonstrated 99.2% (n=353/356) assay agreement Abstract: Background -The novel respiratory virus SARS-CoV-2, responsible for over 380,000 COVID-19 related deaths, has caused significant strain on healthcare infrastructure and clinical laboratories globally. Methods -Nasopharyngeal swabs submitted to UW Virology for SARS-CoV-2 clinical testing were extracted, amplified by our laboratory developed test (LDT) -a CDC-based quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR reaction -and analyzed for agreement between the multiplexed assay. Methods -Nasopharyngeal swabs submitted to UW Virology for SARS-CoV-2 clinical testing were extracted, amplified by our laboratory developed test (LDT) -a CDC-based quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR reaction -and analyzed for agreement between the multiplexed assay. To increase throughput of SARS-CoV-2 testing in clinical laboratories, we designed a multiplexed real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assay utilizing primers and probe sets from the CDC combined with an internal extraction control. ./cache/cord-340336-u59l0taa.txt ./txt/cord-340336-u59l0taa.txt
