辅助数据和图表

Limit of detection versus lower limit of quantification.

This chart demonstrates the difference between the limit of detection (LOD) and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). The LOD is defined as the lowest concentration at which 95% of the positive samples are detected, whereas the LLOQ is the lowest concentration that falls within the linear range of a standard curve. LOD depends upon the precision of the assay, and requires at least 40 replicates for determination of a positive sample. For the Microbial DNA qPCR Assays, LLOQ is sufficient to determine assay sensitivity.

FAQ

Pan Bacteria 1 and Pan Bacteria 3 are designed to detect the broadest possible collection of bacteria involved in human biology. We began by designing assays against evolutionarily conserved regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Bioinformatically these two assays are predicted to test positive for thousands of species, based off of perfect matches and near-perfect matches of the primers and probes with the target sequences. In order to confirm this on the bench, we assayed genomic DNA from 119 species. In the case of both assays, nearly all of the species showed amplification. Positive tests were recorded for species within these 7 phyla: Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Euryarchaeota, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Tenericutes. Additionally, Pan Bacteria 3 detected species within the phylum Spirochaetes.

FAQ ID - 3427

The Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for bacterial species detection use the 16S rRNA gene as the template. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for detection of fungal species use ribosomal (small subunit or larger subunit) genes as the template. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays for detection of microbial genes use various antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factor genes for the template.

FAQ ID — 3394

Limit of detection (LOD) is defined as the lowest concentration at which 95% of positive samples are detected. Since LOD is not necessarily within the linear range of an assay, LOD can be lower than LLOQ.

FAQ ID — 3402

Positive PCR Control (PPC) is used to test for the presence of inhibitors in the sample or the efficiency of the polymerase chain reaction itself using a pre-dispensed artificial DNA sequence and the primer set that detects it. Microbial DNA Positive Control is a mixture of synthetic oligonucleotides that are targets for each primer/hydrolysis probe set. It is used to test that each Microbial DNA qPCR Assay is performing correctly.

FAQ ID — 3397

Yes, they are free of bacterial genomic DNA. Each Microbial DNA array contains a control for genomic DNA control, which gives a signal for gDNA contamination. A Ct below 35 indicates that there is a bacterial genomic DNA contamination.

FAQ ID - 3535

No, multiplexing is not an option because all of the Microbial DNA qPCR Assay 5′ hydrolysis probes are labeled with FAM.

FAQ ID — 3408

Microbial DNA qPCR Arrays and Assays / Multi-Assay Kits have been tested using genomic DNA from stool, sputum, tooth plaque, isolated bacterial colony, vaginal swab, and sewage samples, and can be used with a variety of other sample types.

FAQ ID — 3399

The Microbial DNA qPCR Arrays and Assay Kits do not allow measurement of antibiotic resistance gene expression because reverse transcriptase enzyme is not included. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays have not been tested on cDNA.

FAQ ID — 3404

The amplicon size of the Microbial DNA qPCR Assays varies from target to target. Each target is detected via an individual primer/probe set that determines the amplicon size.

FAQ ID — 3396

The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is the lower limit at which an assay can provide quantitative results. It is the lowest template concentration that is within the linear range of the assay.

FAQ ID — 3401

The Microbial DNA qPCR Arrays and Assay Kits do not allow measurement of virulence factor gene expression because reverse transcriptase enzyme is not included. Microbial DNA qPCR Assays have not been tested on cDNA.

FAQ ID — 3405

We recommend not using Microbial DNA-Free Water or Microbial qPCR Mastermix after opening more than 3 times due to increased chance of microbial contamination.

FAQ ID — 3398

Calculation of the number of bacterial cells present in a sample is determined by generating a standard curve using genomic DNA from a known amount of bacterial cells.

FAQ ID — 3411

Yes. The assays have been wet-lab verified to ensure optimal performance. Primer efficiency, correlation coefficient, sensitivity, and specificity have been determined for each assay.

FAQ ID — 3406

Most of the Microbial DNA qPCR Assays that detect bacterial species are species-specific. Assays that do detect more than one species will list which species are detected in the product specification sheet. These were determined by both experimental data and in silico prediction.
