Pooling of 1 positive sample with up to 5 negative samples prior to testing with the Cepheid GenXpert SARS-CoV-2 assay did not adversely impact detection of positive samples. At our current prevalence of 2%, it could save up to 70% of the test kits.
在使用 Cepheid GenXpert SARS-CoV-2 检测试剂盒之前，将 1 份阳性样本与最多 5 份阴性样本混合，不会对阳性样本的检测产生不利影响。在目前 2%的流行率下，这可以节省多达 70%的检测试剂盒。
