Journal ArticleDOI
A Paper-Based Multiplexed Transaminase Test for Low-Cost, Point-of-Care Liver Function Testing
Nira R. Pollock,Jason P. Rolland,Shailendra Kumar,Patrick Beattie,Sidhartha Jain,Farzad Noubary,Vicki L. Wong,Rebecca A. Pohlmann,Una S. Ryan,George M. Whitesides +9 more
TL;DR: The development and clinical testing of a paper-based, multiplexed microfluidic assay designed for rapid, semiquantitative measurement of AST and ALT in a fingerstick specimen is described, suggesting that the ultimate point-of-care fingerstick device will have high impact on patient care in low-resource settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test kit for point-of-care and laboratory-based testing for Ebola virus disease: a field validation study.

TL;DR: The ReEBOV rapid diagnostic test had 100% sensitivity and 92% specificity in both point-of-care and reference laboratory testing in this population and with two independent readers, the test detected all patients who were positive for Ebola virus by altona real-time RT-PCR; however, this benchmark itself had imperfect sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of Saliva, Oropharyngeal Swabs, and Nasal Swabs for SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Detection: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Rose A. Lee,Rose A. Lee,Joshua C. Herigon,Andrea Benedetti,Nira R. Pollock,Nira R. Pollock,Claudia M. Denkinger +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically searched PubMed, Google Scholar, medRxiv, and bioRXiv (last retrieval 1 October 2020) for comparative studies of alternative sample types (saliva, oropharyngeal [OP], and nasal [NS] swabs) versus NP swabs for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis using nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis of commercially available rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) is presented, where the clinical accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of these tests are assessed.
