CLINICAL STUDY

Comparative analyses of clinical diagnostic

I Clinical diagnostic study

The comparison of the detection by the test-kit of IgG and/or IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 compared with the clinical diagnostic results is shown in the following table:

  • Negative sample rate 98.7% (159 of 160 samples) 98.07% 98.07%

IV Detection time

Comparison of the first positive detection point detected by the test-kit of IgG and/or IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 compared with the nucleic acid test. The comparison is based on continuous sample collection from the same patients at different time points. The comparison is shown in the following table:

Test reagent resultsNumber of casesPercentage
Earlier than the nucleic acid test results315%
Same as the nucleic acid test results1470%
Later than the nucleic acid test results315%

The comparisons above show that there were no statistical significantly differences between the test-kit and the clinical diagnostic results.
