Analytical performance of lateral flow immunoassay for SARS-CoV-2 exposure screening on venous and capillary blood samples	2020-11-07		.txt	text/plain	3000	155	51	OBJECTIVES: We validate the use of a lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) intended for rapid screening and qualitative detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG in serum, plasma, and whole blood, and compare results with ELISA. Herein, we describe clinical validation of a new lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) test intended for rapid screening and qualitative detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG in serum, plasma, and whole blood. Plasma, serum, whole blood, and capillary blood (finger stick) samples from patients diagnosed with COVID-19 by PCR were tested with the 2019-nCoV IgG/IgM Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold) (Biolidics Ltd.), and the results were correlated with those obtained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the gold standard for serologic detection of antibodies. Furthermore, we show J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f that capillary whole blood obtained by finger stick shows comparable sensitivity for detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies as venous blood samples.	./cache/cord-293169-rd12xwvl.txt	./txt/cord-293169-rd12xwvl.txt
