Scatter plot showing the real-time PCR results for detection of R. communis DNA recovered from crude ricin extracts (neat), and ten-fold and 100-fold dilutions of the ricin extracts in PBS. DNA purification was performed in triplicate on ricin extracts at each dilution using the MasterPure kit (×), the QIAamp kit (▴), the MagNA Pure Compact instrument (■) and the MagNA Pure LC instrument (♦). The data were plotted as the average CT values [(mean±standard deviation); (n=9)] versus the dilution of ricin extracts.

3. Fig. 2
Scatter plots showing the real-time PCR results for detection of R. communis DNA recovered from baking soda samples (A) and flour samples (B) spiked with crude ricin extracts (neat) and a ten-fold dilution of the ricin extracts in PBS. DNA purification was performed in triplicate on powder extracts using the MasterPure kit (×), the QIAamp kit (▴), the MagNA Pure Compact instrument (■) and the MagNA Pure LC instrument (♦). For both types of powder, the data were plotted as the average CT values [(mean±standard deviation); (n=9)] versus the spiking dilution of ricin extracts.
