Evaluation of the Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay, a High-Throughput Extraction-Free Diagnostic Test for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Saliva: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Evaluation of the Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay, a High-Throughput Extraction-Free Diagnostic Test for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Saliva: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Nasopharyngeal swab specimen (NPS) molecular testing is considered the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection. However, saliva is an attractive, noninvasive specimen alternative. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR saliva-based assay against p...
