Target enrichment probes and the Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit workflow provide uniform coverage of the two viruses in the panel that are tiled completely with probes.
Using the Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit, pathogens were detectable down to 100 genome copies except for A. fumigatus. Detection of Influenza A was more sensitive and detected to 10 genome copies.
The Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit enables quantitation of pathogen levels using a spiked-in control followed by analysis using the Explify RPIP Data Analysis App. This figure shows a comparison of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in clinical research samples determined by qPCR and NGS. The two methods show significant correlation, Spearman r = 0.87, and importantly, this NGS approach does not require generation of a standard curve like qPCR.

Results list targeted respiratory pathogens that have at least the minimum level of support that indicates they may be present in the sample. This decision is based on the pathogen sequence data generated and interpreted based on the number of supporting reads and machine learning.
AMR genes are listed together with the associated bacteria and antibiotics against which they can confer resistance.
We generally recommend starting with 1M single reads, or 2M paired-end reads per sample using a minimum of 1 × 100 bp or 2 × 75 bp sequencing chemistries. These numbers are a starting point and should be optimized based on sample types and target abundance.
