Comments to be published via JCTLM DBThe reported values for comparability of the listed LGC and NIM RMPs are provided in Table 5 of the extent-of-equivalence reports. A reference material without any KRAS mutation (GBW09900) is recommended as the negative control and the RM with a known KRAS G12D mutation type (GBW09842) is recommended as the positive control. The precision of repeatability, intermediate precision and reproducibility are 1.9 %, 1.4 % and 0.93 % for higher fractional abundance (20% - 100%), and are 25 %, 22 % and 25 % for low fractional abundance of 0.1 %. Partition volume of 0.837 nL and uncertainty of 0.8 % were recommended. The measurement uncertainty equation is uc = [(uA/M)2 + (u(Vp) /Vp)2]1/2 where uA is the Type A uncertainty (relative uncertainty) due to precision (repeatability) and M is the replication level and VP is the partition volume. The variant ID and the genomic coordinates of the dPCR assay are listed HERE.
