Compared to this qRT-PCR kit, the OSN-qRT-PCR assay revealed higher sensitivity and specificity, showing better suitability to clinical applications for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with low viral load. Compared to this qRT-PCR kit, the OSN-qRT-PCR assay revealed higher sensitivity and specificity, showing better suitability to clinical applications for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with low viral load. Collectively, the OSN-qRT-PCR assay has advantages of high sensitivity and easy applicability for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. ./cache/cord-261823-pgluidj8.txt ./txt/cord-261823-pgluidj8.txt
