An assessment of real-time RT-PCR kits for SARS-CoV-2 detection

Detection Principle
NucleicAcid-PCR based
Target
N1, N2
Testing Method Category
Other PCR method(s)
Testing Method
in house RT-PCR
Testing Method - Additional Info
Comparison of a developed test assay with the LightMix Modular SARS and Wuhan CoV E-gene (LN S&W-E), Cov N-gene (LM S&W-N) and Cov RdRP gene (LM W-RdRP) assay
Reported Performance
Remark: LM W-RdRP set was less sensitive than the others, LM S&W-E and LM S&W-N kits show high sensitivities, in house developed test N2 set is more sensitive than the N set
Sample Size
25 samples
Peer-reviewed
yes
