COVID diagnostics by molecular methods: A systematic review of nucleic acid based testing systems.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The selection of appropriate kit and PCR equipment for the detection of SARS CoV-2 is critically important in view of many options available in the diagnostic market. Since last year many molecular products are available for COVID-19 diagnostics., some of these diagnostics have become commercially available for healthcare workers and clinical laboratories. However, the diagnostic technologies have specific limitations and reported several false-positive and false-negative cases, especially during the early stages of kit development and use. The current article addresses these and other relevant questions important to the medical microbiologists running or aspiring to run COVID diagnostic services using PCR and related technologies.
