SARS-CoV-2 infections are characterized by viral proliferation and clearance phases and
can be followed by low-level persistent viral RNA shedding. The dynamics of viral RNA�…

Molecular testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the
gold standard for diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the clinical�…

Background Serial screening is critical for restricting spread of severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by facilitating timely identification of infected�…

Background Routine asymptomatic testing using RT-PCR of people who interact with
vulnerable populations, such as medical staff in hospitals or care workers in care homes�…

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, molecular methods (eg, real-time PCR)
have been the primary means of diagnosing the disease. It is now well established that�…

INTRODUCTION Although post facto studies have revealed the importance of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission from presymptomatic�…

Analytical sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2 detection is a key performance metric for the
evaluation of viral detection assays. We determined analytical limits of detection for seven�…

Background Detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
infection has principally been performed through the use of real-time reverse-transcription�…

Background High-throughput assays for the SARS-CoV-2 virus are critical to increasing test
capacity and slowing the spread of COVID-19. Abbott Molecular developed and received�…

Early detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection is critical to reduce asymptomatic and
presymptomatic transmission, curb the spread of variants, and maximize treatment efficacy�…
