Therefore, this approach may be integrated into the molecular diagnosis of COVID-19 and provides a general method for preparing positive controls for diagnosing emerging RNA virus infections. Therefore, a new preparation design that provides contamination-free positive controls for COVID-19 real-time RT-PCR testing is urgently needed. Here, we present a new approach for producing synthetic positive controls using synthetic positive template (SPT) oligonucleotides that contain probe binding and virusirrelevant regions as templates for detecting SARS-CoV-2 genes by real-time RT-PCR. We performed multiplex real-time RT-PCR using an SPT (positive control) as a template in a concentration-dependent manner, to determine the limit of detection (LOD) for individual SARS-CoV-2 genes. In previous studies, the Uni-Control method for preparing real-time RT-PCR positive controls has been developed as a generic approach for diagnosing viral infections [22] . ./cache/cord-259886-j0bpp7iw.txt ./txt/cord-259886-j0bpp7iw.txt
