| | Reporting DIOS RT-qPCR assay, which targets two regions of nucleocapsid genes (N1, N2) to detect SARS-CoV-2. | Ct value of <40, was indicative of a SARS-CoV-2-positive sample.
The pre-treatment of the swab sample by heat inactivation (75 degree Celsius for 10 min) was also tested. No significant changes in heat inactivation were observed.
Comparative analysis of swab samples by DIOS-RT-qPCR (directly from a swab) and an IVD CE-certified RT-qPCR kit (using extracted RNA) was performed, 98% concordance results were observed. ✍ | 32824767
