Résumé

The detection of SARS-CoV-2 in infected people is a key tool to help in controlling COVID-19 pandemic. Like rapid antigenic tests, automated antigen tests, that present the advantage of a higher throughput flow, may be of interest. The LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 Ag test was evaluated for the quantification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in nasopharyngeal swabs by comparison to RT-PCR.
