PCR Adapt COVID-19 has been evaluated in both Extracted and Direct formats with excellent concordance to the reference methods.
DIRECT:
A panel of 60 clinical specimens, comprising 30 negative and 30 positive anterior nasal swabs from individuals suspected of COVID-19 infection were collected using the Puritan Optiswab device and tested directly with PCR Adapt COVID-19 reagents.
EXTRACTED:
An independent clinical study of assay performance was carried out at Bons Secours Hospital, Cork. A panel of 251 combined nasopharyngeal and throat swab specimens were extracted using the KingFisher Flex System and the MagMAX Viral/Pathogen II Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit. Samples were tested using Hibergene PCR Adapt COVID-19 reagents on the BioRad CFX96 and the results compared to those obtained with independently validated commercial PCR kit.
