Evaluation of rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, AFIAS COVID-19 Ag and ichroma COVID-19 Ag
Analysis of fast SARS-CoV-2 antigen checks, AFIAS COVID-19 Ag and ichroma COVID-19 Ag, with serial nasopharyngeal specimens from COVID-19 sufferers We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of two newly developed, point-of-care, fast antigen checks (RATs) for detecting SARS-CoV-2, the AFIAS COVID-19 Ag and the ichromaTM COVID-19 Ag, and investigated antigen kinetics. A complete of 200 serially collected nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens… Continue reading
