Here, we present a fast, accurate and simple method of viral titration using QuantStudio 3D® microchip based RT-dPCR to titrate SARS-CoV2 genomic copies from controls to be used in RT-qPCR assays for diagnosis and research purposes. A dilution that results in approximately 200 to 2000 target copies in the final reaction usually presents better precision values. Results with precision values below 5% were selected to estimate quantity of SARS-CoV2 genomic copies based on RT-dPCR. RT-dPCR results of 10-fold serial dilution of SARS-CoV2 control using assays for three targets in the Nucleocapsid gene. These results indicate that these primer-probe assays are suitable for SARS-CoV2 quantification through RT-dPCR. ./cache/cord-321049-9ozn6il7.txt ./txt/cord-321049-9ozn6il7.txt
