The findings demonstrate that the NWHL LDT has comparable clinical performance for the specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in NP specimens and is more efficient and cost effective in comparison to the modified CDC assay. In summary, The NWHL LDT has comparable analytical sensitivity and accuracy for specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and also showed superior efficiency and cost-effectiveness when compared to the modified CDC assay. ./cache/cord-269488-7fy6exsd.txt ./txt/cord-269488-7fy6exsd.txt
