Estimating the false positive rate of highly automated SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification testing

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

Molecular testing for infectious diseases is generally both very sensitive and specific. Well-designed PCR primers rarely cross-react with other analytes, and specificities seen during test validation are often 100%. However, analytical specificities measured during validation may not reflect real-world performance across the entire testing process. Here, we use the unique environment of SARS-CoV-2 screening among...
