The study was conducted on 550 salivary samples from male and female subjects without age limits. The Virusight solution demonstrated an overall sensitivity of 92.7% (positive percent agreement) and specificity of 96.8% (negative percent agreement) as compared to an EC marked RT-PCR and was shown to be a safe and reliable test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens and/or ...
These recombinant antigens in immunoassays are suitable for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against EBV in blood samples. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is one of the most prevalent human viruses, as it affects more than 90% of adults in the world. ...
The paper specifically relates to overcoming the limitations of Next Generation Sequencing (“NGS”) in identifying and quantifying genetically-related microorganisms after they are pooled together in either natural or designed samples. BiomX researchers have developed a reference-based Python algorithm, Exodus, for quantification of genomes, including those that are ...

Recent testing using live South African samples confirmed that our QuickVue® At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test and our Sofia® SARS Antigen FIA are detecting the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. ...
” MiraDx has a CLIA-certified lab with a “high complexity molecular processing” designation that allows it to conduct PCR testing, a highly sensitive approach that results in more than 90 percent accuracy in detecting the COVID-19 virus and is considered the gold standard in testing. To determine whether an individual is infected with COVID-19, a ...

The PCR test is considered the gold standard given its 90%+ accuracy rate and ability to detect even low levels of virus. Pros of Viral Tests: Able to tell if someone is infected before antibodies form or symptom appears, so ideal for early detection and asymptomatic detection Gives the ability to gather specific data like how dangerous the virus is for ...

“There has also been a lot of interest in some research recently completed in the Netherlands to monitor the virus in communities via wastewater samples,” Clark revealed. “More recently people are asking about modelling of the financial impacts on organisations and changes in the way rates are charged and collected. ...
Cheng-Wey Wei, Director of Technology Development for QuarkBio, indicated that the digital functionality of the assay can detect as low as 3 copies of virus in a sample, which is 10x more sensitive than conventional qPCR tests available on the market. ...
