Other kit avalaible in the market is nCoV-QS (MiCo BioMed; South Corea) that include probes "ORF3a" and "N" probes for SARS-CoV-2 detection but no probe for RNA extraction quality control, with no EUA approval neither from FDA (USA) nor from Korean CDC (4,5,6). Both CoV-QS and 2019-nCoV CDC EUA kits were used at SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis laboratory "LabGal" at "Agencia de Regulación y Control de la Bioseguridad y Cuarentena para Galápagos" at Puerto Ayora in Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), where we considered this validation necessary to guarantee the sensibility of SARS-CoV-2 during the surveillance. ./cache/cord-272734-kawim93f.txt ./txt/cord-272734-kawim93f.txt
