Abstract:Background
Significant overlap exists between the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. This poses a serious challenge to clinical diagnosis, laboratory testing, and infection control programs.
Objectives
To evaluate the performance of the Hologic Panther Fusion Respiratory Assays (RA) compared to the GenMark ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) and to assess the ability of the Panther Fusion to perform parallel testing of SARS-CoV-2 and other respirat… Show more
“…It uses retroviral reverse transcriptase and T7 RNA polymerase to differentiate nucleic acids from various microbes. Per this criterion, the Panther Fusion stage from Hologic may perform both RT-PCR and TMA [ 112 ]. The Panther combination stage stands apart for its high test effectiveness (up to 1,000 tests in 24 h) and its capacity to control other regular respiratory infections whose manifestations cover COVID-19 utilizing a similar example and a similar patient assortment bottle [ 113 ].…”
