Abstract

An immunochromatographic kit was developed to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses (A and B) on two detection positions of a single strip. The sensitivity and specificity for SARS-CoV-2 were 97.4% and 100%, respectively, and those for influenza viruses were 100%, respectively.

Keywords: Immunochromatographic kit; influenza virus; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
