Objective:
The real-time PCR system is one of the most powerful research tools available in the life sciences field. The aim of this study was to preliminarily evaluate the analytical performance of QuantStudio 1 Plus real-time PCR system (QS 1 plus) for clinical procedures.
Methods:
The consistency of QS 1 plus with the reference system in terms of various clinical procedures was evaluated. For qualitative data, the Kappa test was used to analyze the agreement of the results. For the quantitative data, Passing-Bablok regression analysis and Bland-Altman plot analysis were used to assess the concordance between QS 1 plus and the reference instrument.
Results:
Passing-Bablok regression showed an excellent agreement between the QS 1 plus and LC 480 systems for HBV DNA quantification (y = 0.928 + 0.970x), whereas Bland-Altman plot analysis showed very small mean deviations between the two systems. The QS 1 plus yielded perfectly consistent results with the reference instrument for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T melting curve genotyping analysis, MTHFR C677T genotyping analysis, Norovirus RNA negative/positive analysis, influenza B virus (Flu B) RNA negative/positive analysis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA negative/positive analysis, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping analysis, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation analysis. Both the relative quantitative analysis and the relative quantitative analysis (standard curve) confirmed the satisfactory concordance between the QS 1 plus instrument and the ABI 7500 instrument by Passing-Bablok regression analysis (y = 0.180 + 0.817x and y = 0.012 + 1.000x, respectively) and Bland-Altman plot analysis.
Conclusions:
Our research has proven that QS 1 plus is adaptable to most test procedures in the clinical laboratory. This may provide the basis for its further application.
