Introduction: The spread of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious problem all over the world. Several immunochromatography kits of the antibody for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been developed, but it is still unclear which kits have high diagnostic value. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy rate for antibody detection of each immunochromatography kit and reveal which kit has a high diagnostic value for antibody detection.
Methods: This study was carried out between 1 August 2020 and 14 October 2020 at the Association of EISEIKAI Medical and Healthcare Corporation Minamitama Hospital. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and approximately 30 days after symptom onset were included as the positive group. The serum SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were analysed using seven immunochromatography kits.
Results: Twenty samples (Positive group: 10 patients, Negative group: 10 healthy medical workers) were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 44 years, and the median duration from symptom onset was 30.5 days in the positive group. The accuracy rates for IgM/IgG detection were: 90.0%/100% in Kit A; 50.0%/95.0% in Kit B; 55.0%/65.0% in Kit C; 60.0%/55.0% in Kit D; 50.0%/80.0% in Kit E; 80.0%/90.0% in Kit F; and 90.0%/100% in Kit G.
Conclusions: Our study showed that there is a variation of accuracy rates between immunochromatography kits for antibodies of SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 IgG/IgM RAPID TEST CASSETTE (Hangzhou Biotest Biotech Co., Ltd., China) and Nadal COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test (BioServUK Ltd., UK: United Kingdom) have high accuracy rates for both IgM and IgG detection. Evidence from large population studies of immunochromatography kits is needed to clarify the details of diagnostic value for SARS-CoV-2.

Accurate detection is a prerequisite for effective prevention and control of infection. ELISA is the most popular method for the clinical detection of because of its convenience, low cost, and high detection rate. However, the cross-reactivity of commercially available ELISA kits with other avian pathogen-positive sera needs to be addressed.

- Viral enteric infections, caused by norovirus, rotavirus A, and human adenovirus, significantly impact the gastrointestinal system, highlighting the need for rapid diagnostic tools like the immunochromatographic (IC) test.
- The IP-Triple I IC test kit was evaluated against known positive stool specimens and showed 100% specificity for detecting NoV, RVA, and HAdV, with varying sensitivity levels of 86.7% for RVA, 70.6% for NoV, and 76.2% for HAdV.
- The findings confirm that the IP-Triple I IC test kit is effective for quick detection of multiple viral genotypes in stool samples, proving valuable for timely diagnosis during outbreaks.

An elderly patient who presented with 1 week of fever and respiratory symptoms was tested for dengue infection with an Abbott Bioline™ Dengue Duo immunochromatographic assay. Unexpectedly, the control line of the dengue non-structural protein 1 (NS1) component was absent, necessitating result invalidation. It remained absent when the test was repeated on the SD Biosensor Standard™ Q Dengue Duo, but present on the Wells Bio careUS Dengue Combo and Asan Easy Test® Dengue DUO assays, suggesting potential interference.

Article Synopsis
- Conventional ELISA methods for detecting cancer biomarkers face challenges like long incubation times, high reagent requirements, and low sensitivity.
- A new paper-in-polymer-pond (PiPP) hybrid microfluidic microplate has been developed to allow quick, cost-effective, and sensitive detection of disease biomarkers in under an hour without the need for sophisticated equipment.
- The device achieves improved sensitivity and can be reused by replacing the paper layer, enabling better efficiency in reagent delivery and quantitative analysis using common imaging tools like scanners or smartphone cameras.
