Importance of external quality assessment for SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection during the COVID-19

Mantke et al., demonstrated the use of virusPHIX-P9™ for stablising SARS-CoV-2 Antigen and use by 258 participants across 27 countries for Lateral flow rapid antigen tests, automated point-of-care-tests and laboratory ELISA / immunoassays. 

 

Antigen testing has become integral in the ongoing monitoring and detection of COVID-19. 

Independent and extensive comparative evaluations using data from external quality assessment studies to evaluate test performance are crucial.
