Article Title: Comparative Evaluation of Allplex Respiratory Panels 1, 2, 3, and BioFire FilmArray Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Respiratory Infections

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cycle threshold (Ct) values of viruses detected in NPS specimens by the Allplex RP 1, 2, 3 assays. The Allplex RP assays generate Ct values of respiratory pathogens, which were accepted as correct and utilized to compare the performance against the BioFire FilmArray RP. The BioFire FilmArray RP assay does not differentiate between HEV and HRV as well as RSV-A, and RSV-B, and reports them as a single analyte HEV/HRV and RSV-A/RSV-B, respectively. The NPS specimens were ordered by ascending Ct values. Blue symbols denote NPS specimens positive on Allplex RP but negative on the BioFire FilmArray RP.
Article Snippet: In summary, among the 181 NPS specimens tested, the Allplex RP 1, 2, and 3 assays detected 154 samples positive for respiratory viruses, whereas the BioFire FilmArray RP detected viruses in 98 samples.
