Study on the Uncertainty of Real-time PCR Kits for Quantitative Detection of PRRSV of American Type
In order to fill in the blank of the measurement uncertainty in the field of veterinary etiology,an evaluation model of measurement uncertainty for real-time PCR kits for quantitative detection of PRRSV was established,and three kinds of commercial RT-PCR kits(detecting PRRSV strain of American type)were evaluated,including the influence of pipette,temperature and repeated measurement on test results. It was found that the test results were greatly influenced by the pipette and repeated measurement,which should be paid attention to,and the operations should be standardized;the determination area of the kits for suspected samples was reduced,which contributed to the determination of the critical reference value of samples. The kit with highest extraction efficiency was selected through comparing the nucleic acid extraction reagents produced by four manufacturers. In conclusion,a foundation was hereby laid for evaluation and application of measurement uncertainty in veterinary laboratories by the model established in this study.
