Fig. 3: Time to detection of optimized multiplexed HPV16/gDNA reaction on Bio-Rad thermocycler and benchtop T8-ISO.

A range of concentrations of SiHa (HPV16) DNA and gDNA were used as targets to evaluate the limit of detection of the reaction. The reaction was performed on the Bio-Rad (A, B) for probit analysis (n = 9) and was read on the A FAM channel for HPV16 detection and B ROX channel for gDNA detection. The reaction was also performed on the benchtop T8-ISO (C, D), also read on the C FAM channel for HPV16 detection and D ROX channel for gDNA detection (n = 3). Bar graphs represent mean time to detection and error bars represent standard deviation. Number of replicates that amplified out of total replicates performed are specified on the bar graphs.
