Comparative analysis of the diagnostic performance of five commercial COVID-19 qRT PCR kits used in India

J. Singh et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the inter-test agreement of 5 commercial COVID-19 diagnostic kits widely used in India, showing variations in sensitivity and specificity among the kits. The findings suggest the presence of wide heterogeneity and sub-optimal inter-test agreement in the diagnostic performance of the evaluated kits.
