Part 2: Environmental Panel Organisms -
This list is comprised of identified organisms from the
118
environment.
119
120
Inclusion of all environmental panel organisms is not a requirement if a method developer provides
121
appropriate justification that the intended use of the assay permits the exclusion of specific panel
122
organisms. Justification for exclusion of any environmental panel organism(s) must be documented
123
and submitted.
124
125
Organisms and cell lines may be tested as isolated DNA, or as pools of isolated DNA. Isolated DNA
126
may be combined into pools of up to 10 panel organisms, with each panel organism represented at
127
10 times the AMDL, where possible. The combined DNA pools are tested in the presence (at 2 times
128
the AMDL) and absence of the
target viral gene or gene fragment.
If an unexpected result occurs,
129
each of the individual environmental organisms from a failed pool must be individually re-tested at
130
10 times the AMDL with and without the
target viral gene or gene fragment
at 4,000 genome
131
equivalents/mL in the candidate method DNA elution buffer.
