Scientific literature on COVID-19 Test Methods and Devices - detail

Analytical sensitivity and efficiency comparisons of SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR primer-probe sets

Detection Principle
NucleicAcid-PCR based
Target
E, RdRP (Charitè); ORF1, N (HKU, China CDC); N1, N2, N3 (US CDC)
Testing Method Category
PCR_KIT
Testing Method
kits & CDC
Testing Method - Additional Info
independent evaluations of primer–probe sets used in four common SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assays (Charitè, HKU, China CDC, US CDC)
