'''High- and moderate-complexity CLIA testing'''


Whether adding PCR to your existing laboratory, modifying existing PCR workflows, or starting from scratch, preventing contamination is a top priority. As PCR can effectively amplify even the tiniest of quantities of DNA and RNA, the risk of amplifying a contaminant and ruining the validity of an assay is very real.<ref name="MifflinSetting03">{{cite book |url=http://www.biosupplynet.com/pdf/01_pcr_primer_p.5_14.pdf |format=PDF |chapter=Chapter 1: Setting Up a PCR Laboratory |title=PCR Primer |author=Mifflin, T.E. |editor=Dieffenbach, C.; Dveksler, G. |edition=2nd |publisher=Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press |pages=5–14 |year=2003 |isbn=9780879696542 |accessdate=13 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="RochePCR06">{{cite book |url=https://www.gene-quantification.de/ras-pcr-application-manual-3rd-ed.pdf |format=PDF |chapter=Chapter 2: General Guidelines |title=PCR Applications Manual |editor=Degen, H.-J.; Deufel, A.; Eisel, D. et al. |edition=3rd |publisher=Roche Diagnostics GmbH |pages=19–38 |year=2006 |accessdate=13 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="AhmedSetting14">{{cite book |url=http://grcpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/12.-Setting-up-PCR-Lab.pdf |format=PDF |chapter=Chapter 12: Setting-up a PCR Lab |title=Manual of PCR |author=Ahmed, S. |publisher=Genetics Resource Centre |year=2014 |accessdate=13 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="RedigTheDevil14">{{cite web |url=https://bitesizebio.com/19880/the-devil-is-in-the-details-how-to-setup-a-pcr-laboratory/ |title=The Devil is in the Details: How to Setup a PCR Laboratory |author=Redig, J. |work=BiteSizeBio |date=01 August 2014 |accessdate=13 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="BioChekTheBasics18">{{cite web |url=https://www.biochek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/BioChek-E-book-The-basics-of-PCR.pdf |format=PDF |title=The basics of PCR: Detecting viruses and bacteria red-handed |publisher=BioChek BV |date=May 2018 |accessdate=13 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="DasMitig18">{{cite journal |title=Mitigating PCR /Amplicon Contamination in a High Risk High Burden Mycobacterial Reference Laboratory in a Resource Limited Setting |journal=Mycobacterial Diseases |author=Das, P.K.; Ganguly, S.B.; Mandal, B. |volume=8 |issue=2 |at=261 |year=2018 |doi=10.4172/2161-1068.1000261}}</ref><ref name="WHODos18">{{cite web |url=https://www.who.int/teams/global-malaria-programme/case-management/diagnosis/nucleic-acid-amplification-based-diagnostics/dos-and-don-ts-for-molecular-testing |title=Dos and Don'ts for molecular testing |author=World Health Organization |publisher=World Health Organization |date=31 January 2018 |accessdate=08 September 2021}}</ref> Contamination typically comes from non-amplified environmental substances such as aerosols, and from carryover contamination of amplicons from earlier PCR cycles. As such, not only do best-practice processes and procedures (P&P) need to be followed (e.g., unidirectional workflow, thorough cleaning procedures, proper preparation and disposal), but also where to place PCR-related equipment must be carefully considered.<ref name="MifflinSetting03" /><ref name="RochePCR06" /><ref name="RedigTheDevil14" /><ref name="DasMitig18" />
Thermal cyclers are the standard instruments for PCR testing. Today, real-time or quantitative (qPCR) systems largely fill this niche. However, [[Digital polymerase chain reaction|digital and droplet digital PCR]] systems are emerging, and they have the benefit of producing even more rapid, precise, sensitive, accurate, and reproducible results, and they are capable of direct quantification and multiplexing. Other instruments and accessories for PCR workflows include proper power supplies, analytical balances, electrophoresis chambers, water and/or dry baths, and mini/micro centrifuges. However, if you're considering the addition of PCR workflow to your laboratory, the thermal cycler is typically where the largest up-front cost will be. As such, it's important to ask yourself critical questions to help guide your acquisition decisions.


When possible, separate rooms for sample preparation, PCR setup, and post-PCR activities, each with their own airflow control, are encouraged.<ref name="MifflinSetting03" /><ref name="RochePCR06" /><ref name="BioChekTheBasics18" /><ref name="DasMitig18" /><ref name="WHODos18" /> However, the laboratory attempting to add PCR to an already small clinical diagnostic lab may not have the luxury of having multiple rooms. In that case, a single-room setup may suffice, if the workflow areas remain demarcated or physically partitioned. Additionally, a single-room setup must also have stricter P&P and design controls to offset the space constraints. For example, the sample preparation area of the room should have a laminar flow hood with UV light that is regularly cleaned, and post-PCR analysis may need to occur later in the day after cleanup from prior steps.<ref name="MifflinSetting03" /><ref name="AhmedSetting14" /><ref name="WHODos18" /> Of course, always maintaining unidirectional workflow—regardless of number of rooms—is also critical to minimizing contamination. For example, technicians shouldn't be transporting amplified materials into the DNA extraction area.

'''Isothermal amplification considerations'''
Given the considerable investment that goes into these and other life science instruments, you may want to seek vendors who have a strong track record of supporting and supplying parts for instruments they manufacture and distribute years after the instruments are introduced.<ref name="LMResults20">{{cite web |url=https://www.labmanager.com/surveys/results-from-the-lab-manager-life-science-technology-survey-22257 |title=Results from the Lab Manager Life Science Technology Survey |author=Lab Manager |work=Lab Manager |date=07 April 2020 |accessdate=14 August 2020}}</ref>


Similarly, because DNA and RNR amplification is involved, contamination concerns exist with isothermal amplification techniques. Multiple pipetting steps and repeated freezing and thawing of reagents can still lead to cross-contamination<ref name="DiegoProgress19">{{cite journal |title=Progress in loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for detection of Schistosoma mansoni DNA: Towards a ready-to-use test |journal=Scientific Reports |author=Diego, J.

That said, labs running isothermal amplification processes such as LAMP requiring analysis with agarose gel electrophoresis or a method requiring the opening of reaction vessels will preferably have a secondary area set up for analysis steps so as to minimize the chances of contamination.<ref name="NEBLoop14">{{cite web |url=https://www.neb.com/protocols/2014/06/17/loop-mediated-isothermal-amplification-lamp |title=Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) |publisher=New England BioLabs |date=17 June 2014 |accessdate=14 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="Fernández-SotoDevelop14">{{cite journal |title=Development of a Highly Sensitive Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Method for the Detection of ''Loa loa'' |journal=PLoS One |author=Fernández-Soto, P.; Mvoulouga, P.O.; Akue, J.P. et al. |volume=9 |issue=4 |at=e94664 |year=2014 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0094664 |pmid=24722638 |pmc=PMC3983228}}</ref>
As for PCR-based assays, the U.S. FDA has issued EUAs for more than 200 of them. The most up-to-date listing is of course found at the [https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-emergency-use-authorizations-medical-devices/in-vitro-diagnostics-euas FDA website]. However, sorting through the extra details can be tedious. The Center for Systems Biology at Harvard has been maintaining a [https://csb.mgh.harvard.edu/covid contextual PDF chart] of the various COVID-19 diagnostic tests, which includes information such as run time, manufacturer-supplied data, and published clinical data (when available). This may prove useful in deciding on one or more particular tests. As with many aspects of this pandemic, other factors that may influence your choice of test kit include overall availability, cost, reagents included with the assay, and reagents separately required and their availability.
 
Isothermal amplification techniques have the advantage of not requiring an expensive thermal cycler.<ref name="ThiAColor20">{{cite journal |title=A colorimetric RT-LAMP assay and LAMP-sequencing for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in clinical samples |journal=Science Translational Medicine |author=Thi, V.L.D.; Herbst, K.; Boerner, K. et al. |at=eabc7075 |year=2020 |doi=10.1126/scitranslmed.abc7075 |pmid=32719001}}</ref> Instrument-appropriate reaction vessels, baths, heating units, turbidimeters, thermocyclers, etc. may be required, depending on what type of amplification you're doing. Companies like Meridian Bioscience offer LAMP-based molecular platforms, though they may not offer a specific COVID-19 assay to run on the platform.<ref name="MBAlethia">{{cite web |url=https://www.meridianbioscience.com/platform/molecular/alethia/ |title=Alethia |publisher=Meridian Bioscience |accessdate=14 August 2020}}</ref> As can be seen in Table 1, two isothermal amplification assays that run on their own proprietary instrument have received EUAs and are CLIA-waved, with a third potentially on the way. Using these systems and their COVID-19 assays at the point of care provides a somewhat more attractive option for laboratories wanting to add COVID-19 or even multiplex viral assays to their offerings.
 
 
'''CLIA-waived testing'''
 
If you're running a POL, or attempting to provide COVID-19 testing at the point of care, you'll be looking at the following molecular diagnostic assays (Table 1) and antigen diagnostic assays (Table 2), depending on the level of accuracy and purpose of use required in your POL. Remember that—broadly speaking—antigen tests tend to have lower sensitivities than molecular tests, leaving antigen tests best used as surveillance or repeat screening tools.<ref name="ServiceRadical2020">{{cite journal |title=Radical shift in COVID-19 testing needed to reopen schools and businesses, researchers say |journal=Science |author=Service, R.F. |year=2020 |doi=10.1126/science.abe1546}}</ref><ref name="GuglielmiTheExp20">{{cite journal |title=The explosion of new coronavirus tests that could help to end the pandemic |journal=Nature |author=Guglielmi, G. |volume=583 |pages=506–09 |year=2020 |doi=10.1038/d41586-020-02140-8}}</ref><ref name="TaylorFDA20">{{cite web |url=https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-warns-of-covid-19-antigen-test-false-positives-as-report-flags-quidel-o/588349/ |title=FDA warns of COVID-19 antigen test false positives as report flags Quidel on accuracy |author=Taylor, N.P. |work=MedTechDive |date=04 November 2020 |accessdate=20 November 2020}}</ref> For example, the directions for the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company state: "Sensitivity of the test after the first five days of the onset of symptoms has been demonstrated to decrease as compared to a RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 assay."<ref name="BDVeritor21">{{cite web |url=https://bdveritor.bd.com/content/dam/bdveritor/pdfs/BD-Veritor-IFU.pdf |format=PDF |title=Veritor System For Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 |publisher=Becton, Dickinson and Company |date=January 2021 |accessdate=09 September 2021}}</ref>

Eppendorf Mastercycler Pro S, a thermal cycler for PCR and other applications

High- and moderate-complexity CLIA testing

Thermal cyclers are the standard instruments for PCR testing. Today, real-time or quantitative (qPCR) systems largely fill this niche. However, digital and droplet digital PCR systems are emerging, and they have the benefit of producing even more rapid, precise, sensitive, accurate, and reproducible results, and they are capable of direct quantification and multiplexing. Other instruments and accessories for PCR workflows include proper power supplies, analytical balances, electrophoresis chambers, water and/or dry baths, and mini/micro centrifuges. However, if you're considering the addition of PCR workflow to your laboratory, the thermal cycler is typically where the largest up-front cost will be. As such, it's important to ask yourself critical questions to help guide your acquisition decisions.

As part of their June 2018 survey on PCR equipment, Lab Manager posed five questions potential buyers should ask before making PCR purchases[1]:

  1. Do your current and long-term needs require basic PCR systems, qPCR systems, or digital PCR systems?
  2. What sample formats do you anticipate using?
  3. What throughput requirements do you have now and anticipate in the near future?
  4. What are you willing to sacrifice in regards to temperature ramp up and cool down times and accuracies?
  5. Do you anticipate needing to run more than one independent PCR at the same time (multiblock PCR)?

Given the considerable investment that goes into these and other life science instruments, you may want to seek vendors who have a strong track record of supporting and supplying parts for instruments they manufacture and distribute years after the instruments are introduced.[2]

As for PCR-based assays, the U.S. FDA has issued EUAs for more than 200 of them. The most up-to-date listing is of course found at the FDA website. However, sorting through the extra details can be tedious. The Center for Systems Biology at Harvard has been maintaining a contextual PDF chart of the various COVID-19 diagnostic tests, which includes information such as run time, manufacturer-supplied data, and published clinical data (when available). This may prove useful in deciding on one or more particular tests. As with many aspects of this pandemic, other factors that may influence your choice of test kit include overall availability, cost, reagents included with the assay, and reagents separately required and their availability.

Isothermal amplification techniques have the advantage of not requiring an expensive thermal cycler.[3] Instrument-appropriate reaction vessels, baths, heating units, turbidimeters, thermocyclers, etc. may be required, depending on what type of amplification you're doing. Companies like Meridian Bioscience offer LAMP-based molecular platforms, though they may not offer a specific COVID-19 assay to run on the platform.[4] As can be seen in Table 1, two isothermal amplification assays that run on their own proprietary instrument have received EUAs and are CLIA-waved, with a third potentially on the way. Using these systems and their COVID-19 assays at the point of care provides a somewhat more attractive option for laboratories wanting to add COVID-19 or even multiplex viral assays to their offerings.


CLIA-waived testing

If you're running a POL, or attempting to provide COVID-19 testing at the point of care, you'll be looking at the following molecular diagnostic assays (Table 1) and antigen diagnostic assays (Table 2), depending on the level of accuracy and purpose of use required in your POL. Remember that—broadly speaking—antigen tests tend to have lower sensitivities than molecular tests, leaving antigen tests best used as surveillance or repeat screening tools.[5][6][7] For example, the directions for the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company state: "Sensitivity of the test after the first five days of the onset of symptoms has been demonstrated to decrease as compared to a RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 assay."[8]

Table 1. CLIA-waived COVID-19-related in vitro molecular diagnostic tests (e.g., RT-PCR, LAMP, isothermal amplification) receiving U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs)
First date EUA issued Manufacturer Name of test or assay Required instrument Technology (Method) Multi-analyte? RADx-funded? Approved for at-home? Additional comments
20 March 2020 Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 test GeneXpert Xpress System (Tablet and Hub Configurations) Molecular (RT-PCR) No No No Has largely received positive review of sensitivity and specificity.[9][10][11]
