Table 1.
A comparison between the technical properties and user operation convenience between the three platforms.

Comparison of eMAG with EasyMAG or MagNa96.
Fig 1.
Bland-Altman analysis of the quantitative results of eMAG versus MagNA PURE 96.
Bland-Altman analysis was performed on all samples for all the viruses examined, to compare the Ct values measured between eMAG and the MagNA PURE 96. The y-axis presents the delta Ct between the two platforms, while the x-axis presents the mean Ct value for both platforms for each sample. 2 SD borders are shown.
