With emergence of pandemic COVID-19, rapid and accurate diagnostic testing is essential. This study compared laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Canadian hospital and public health laboratories, and some commercially available real-time RT-PCR assays. Overall, analytical sensitivities were equivalent between LDTs and most commercially available methods.
随着大流行 COVID-19 的出现,快速准确的诊断测试至关重要。本研究比较了加拿大医院和公共卫生实验室使用的用于检测 SARS-CoV-2 的实验室开发的检测方法(LDT)和一些市售的实时 RT-PCR 检测方法。总体而言,LDT 与大多数市售方法的分析灵敏度相当。
