Comments to be published via JCTLM DBA reference material without any KRAS mutation (GBW09900) is recommended as the negative control and the RM with a known KRAS G12S mutation type (GBW09845) is recommended as the positive control. The precision of repeatability, intermediate precision and reproducibility are 0.8 %, 0.6 % and < 1 % for higher fractional abundance (20 % - 100 %), and are 25 %, 18 % 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.
