Abstract

The Cycle Threshold (Ct) value of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR are used as an indicator of viral load. Using a collection of 45 fresh nasopharyngeal samples collected on universal transport media, we compare the Ct value obtained with 2 RT-PCR assays, the Alinity M SARS-CoV-2 and the Alinity M RESP-4-Plex (Abbott Molecular, Des Plaines, Illinois, Etats-Unis) processed on an Alinity M device. The assays are highly correlated; however, the Ct values were in median lower of 4.54 with the Alinity M RESP-4-Plex. This difference could be attributed to earlier detection of positivity by the software of the Alinity M rather than a difference in RT-PCR performances. The Ct-value of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR should be interpreted with caution taking into account the clinical context, pre-analytical and analytical findings.

两种SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR检测方法的比较及仪器软件对周期阈值(Ct)的影响
使用SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR的周期阈值(Ct)值作为病毒载量的指标。使用通用运输介质收集的45份新鲜鼻咽样本,我们比较了在Alinity M设备上处理的Alinity M SARS-CoV-2和Alinity M respr -4- plex (Abbott Molecular, Des Plaines, Illinois, etats - unitis)的2种RT-PCR检测获得的Ct值。分析结果高度相关;而Alinity M RESP-4-Plex的Ct值中位数较低,为4.54。这种差异可能归因于Alinity M软件更早地检测到阳性,而不是RT-PCR性能的差异。考虑到临床背景、分析前和分析结果,应谨慎解释SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR的ct值。
