Impact of Thermal Pretreatment of Saliva on the RT-PCR Detection of SARS-CoV-2

<div>ΔCt values in relation to the control reaction and influencing factors: genes ORF1ab, <i>N,</i> and <i>E,</i> three dilutions (1 : 1, 1 : 10, and 1 : 100), and four heating times (5, 10, 15, and 20 min). Blue points are minimum and maximum differences to control, red points are mean values, and green lines are the joining mean values to improve interpretation.</div>
