Verification of detection method for multiple pathogens in plasma of convalescent patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To systematically verify the detection method for multiple pathogens in plasma of convalescent patients(CPs)with Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods According to the actual situation of plasma samples and the requirements of kit,the molecular biological detection method for multiple pathogens in plasma of CPs with COVID-19 was systematically verified for specificity,reproducibility,intermediate precision and limit of detection(LOD),and confirmed for applicability by detecting 50 plasma samples of CPs with COVID-19.Results The results of interference test and cross test showed that the detection of positive samples and negative samples were not affected;The RSDs of melting temperature values(Tm)of the positive control four pathogens by the same or different test personnels at different time under the same test conditions were 0.07%,0.14%,0.07%,0.14% and 0.06%,0.23%,0.23%,0.20%,and those of internal control(IC)and amplification control(AC)1 and 2 were 0.07%,0.01%,0.07%,0.14% and 0.11%,0.10%,0.15%,0.22%,respectively.Meanwhile,the RSDs of reproducibility and intermediate precision were less than 15% and20% respectively,which met the requirements;The minimum LOD of 22 pathogens were determined;No pathogen was detected in 50 plasma samples of CPs with COVID-19.Conclusion The method for detecting pathogens in plasma of CPs with COVID-19 was specific,stable,reliable and reproducible,which was suitable for the detection of pathogens in plasma of CPs with COVID-19.
