- •
NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel Assay was developed to improve viral detection and to simultaneously identify atypical bacteria.
- •
NxTAG Assay has overcome some of the limitations of the previous Luminex assays.
- •
NxTAG Assay remains generally less sensitive and specific than singleplex real-time polymerase chain reaction.
- •
Further studies on more samples collected during the whole year are needed for a complete evaluation of the NxTAG Assay.
