Our objective in this study has been to evaluate the efficacy of sample pooling in a multicentre way compared to the individual analysis for the detection of COVID-19 by using different commercial platforms available for genomic extraction and amplification by RT -PCR in real time. Here we report on the high efficiency of pooling strategies for SARS-CoV-2 RNA testing, across different RNA extraction and amplification platforms, with excellent performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. In summary, we show a high efficiency of pooling strategies for SARS-CoV-2 RNA testing, across different RNA extraction and amplification platforms, with excellent performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. ./cache/cord-291729-4l4v9jxd.txt ./txt/cord-291729-4l4v9jxd.txt
