Abstract
AbstractSeveral SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern/interest (VOC/VOI) emerged recently, with VOCs outcompeting earlier lineages on a global scale. To date, few data on routine diagnostic performance for VOC/VOIs are available. Here, we investigate the analytical performance of nine commercially available antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) for VOC B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1 and VOI P.2 with cultured SARS-CoV-2. Comparable or higher sensitivity was observed for VOC/VOI compared to a non-VOC/VOI early-pandemic virus for all Ag-RDTs.
