Comparison of the Q-LAMP assay and the BIOMED-1 method.
| Q-LAMP Assay | BIOMED-1 Method | |
|---|---|---|
| Nucleic acid input (RNA ng/sample) | RNA (500) | cDNA (1000) |
| Number of steps | 1 | ≥3 |
| Reaction setup | Easy | Moderately complex (RT-PCR is required) |
| Detection of rare BCR-ABL1 isoforms | Possible | Possible |
| Time to results (minutes) | <60 | >300 |
| Mark | CE/IVD | LDT |
RT-PCR = reverse transcriptase PCR; LDT = laboratory developed test.
