Abstract
Background: The AccuPower¢ç RV1 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit (Bioneer, Korea) and AccuPower¢ç RV1 Multiplex Kit (Bioneer) are one-step real-time reverse transcription PCR assays for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A and B.
Methods: We clinically evaluated the AccuPower¢ç RV1 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit and AccuPower¢ç RV1 Multiplex Kit by comparing their results for 1,098 clinical samples. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed using the Allplex¢â 2019-nCoV Assay (Seegene, Korea) and Standard M nCoV Real-Time Detection Kit (SD Biosensor, Korea). Influenza viruses were detected using the Allplex¢â Respiratory Panel 1 (Seegene).
Results: The comparative positive and negative agreement values of the AccuPower¢ç RV1 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B were 100%. The positive agreement of the AccuPower¢ç RV1 Multiplex Kit was 100% for SARS-CoV-2 and 98.77% for influenza A and B. The kappa values for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B were >0.99. SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated using both sputum and nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs. There was no difference in the detection rates for each type.
Conclusions: The findings confirm the clinically comparable performances of the AccuPower¢ç RV1 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit and the AccuPower¢ç RV1 Multiplex Kit.
