COVID-19 Webinar IIChallenges with COVID-19 antigen tests: are high throughput assays the solution?

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted the world and SARS-CoV-2 tests have become valuable tools to help secure communities and combat this pandemic. In the recent months, SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing has emerged as a potential tool to support molecular testing. The rapid turnaround time and convenience of antigen tests are advantageous, yet, ensuring reliable and reproducible results can be challenging. As we begin to open up society and enter the new normal, understanding the utility of antigen tests and how they can be effectively deployed in the communities will be crucial.
