Generation of false positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen results with testing conditions outside manufacturer recommendations: A scientific approach to pandemic misinformation

2021-07-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Antigen-based rapid diagnostics tests (Ag-RDTs) are useful tools for SARS-CoV-2 detection. However, misleading demonstrations of the Abbott Panbio COVID-19 Ag-RDT on social media claimed that SARS-CoV-2 antigen could be detected in municipal water and food products. To offer a scientific rebuttal to pandemic misinformation and disinformation, this study explored the impact of using the Panbio S...
