    Snippet: To investigate if the background cross-reactivity with pre-COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swabs that we observed for the US CDC 2019-nCoV_N2 primer-probe set ( Fig. 3 ) would impact the testing outcomes of the US CDC assay, we compared 2019-nCoV_N1 and N2 results from 172 clinical samples taken during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Fig. 4 ). We found that N1 was typically more sensitive, yielding lower Ct values from positive samples, and that background cross.....

We found that N1 was typically more sensitive, yielding lower Ct values from positive samples, and that background cross-reactivity with N2 did not yield an abundance of inconclusive test results.
