Development of a portable MIP-based electrochemical sensor for detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen

Abdul Raziq et al.

Summary: The newly developed MIP-based electrochemical sensor for detecting SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein shows a linear response up to 111 fM, with detection and quantification limits of 15 fM and 50 fM. This sensor has the capability to detect ncovNP in nasopharyngeal swab samples of COVID-19 positive patients, providing a new route for rapid COVID-19 diagnostic tools.

The Comparative Clinical Performance of Four SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Tests and Their Correlation to Infectivity In Vitro

Niko Kohmer et al.

Summary: The sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) for rRT-PCR positive samples is relatively low, but they show high positivity rates for samples with high viral load, especially in infectious individuals. Not all rRT-PCR positive samples are infectious, while Ag-RDTs demonstrate a better correlation with cell culture infectivity. These findings suggest that large-scale SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDT-based testing can be effective in detecting potentially infective individuals and reducing virus spread.
