SMPR Key Points
Intended Use:
Laboratory or field use by Department of
Defense trained operators.
Applicability:
Specific detection of Coxiella burnetiiin
collection buffers from aerosol collection
devices. Field‐deployable assays are
preferred.
SMPR Key Points
AMDL
2,000 genomic equivalents / mL of Coxiella
burnetiitarget DNA in the candidate
method sample collection buffer.
Probability of Detection at AMDL within
sample collection buffer ≥ 0.95
Time‐to‐results: Four hours.
