From: Thermally programmed one-pot CRISPR assay for on-site pandemic surveillance

Retrospective study samples were obtained from 74 participants diagnosed as MPXV or non-MPXV cases based on qPCR results. Remaining nucleic acid from the qPCR analysis and/or specimens were used for TRACE, TRACE LFA, and TRACE duplex analyses. Samples prospectively obtained from another 28 symptomatic individuals with epidemiological histories consistent with MPXV infection were analyzed in parallel by TRACE LFA (on-site) and qPCR (off-site central laboratory test).
