VALCOR: A protocol for the validation of SARS-corona virus-2 assays
Testing for SARS-CoV-2 is, together with vaccination, one of the most vital strategies in curbing the current COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to an unprecedented need fordiagnostic testing and to the rapid emergence of an abundance of commercial assays on the market. Due to the nature of the pandemic and in the interest of health protection, many of these assays received provisional authorisation for emergency use without thorough validation. To limit false negative and false positive results, it is key to define common criteria that SARS35 CoV-2 assays need to fulfil. VALCOR or “VALidation of SARS-CORona Virus-2 assays” is a protocol designed to set up a framework for test validation of SARS-CoV-2 virus assays.
