: The current SARS coronavirus-2 (SARs-CoV-2) pandemic has raised serious concerns regarding the inefficiency of available diagnostic method for rapid and efficient detection of the disease. It is agreed widely that Real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and antibody based assays have several limitations that did not help much in preventing exponential spread of the disease in short span of period. Unarguably, the world needs “new-generation diagnostic intervention(s)” against rapidly spreading disease like SARS CoV-2. We have presented aptamer based strategy as a possible point of care testing for diagnosis of the disease. It has several advantages over current tools available and can be used for efficient combating by the mean of quick cost effective and much more accurate diagnostic against the enigmatic SARS CoV-2 disease and similar pandemic which world may possibly encounter in the future

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the analytical performance of a recently available immunoassay for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), based on microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA, AxSYM System, Abbott Laboratories), whose analytical characteristics and clinical results were compared with those of a point of care testing (POCT) method (TRIAGE system, Biosite Diagnostics). The within-run and total imprecision of the MEIA system were 18.4% and 19.8% at 21 ng/l, 8.0% and 14.8% at 183 ng/l, and 5.7% and 14.0% at 319 ng/l, respectively. The detection limit of the MEIA system was tested by repeatedly measuring (n = 20) the 0 calibrator in four different runs; a mean +3 SD value of 5.6 ± 4.8 ng/l (range 1.8–12.6 ng/l) was obtained. A close linear relationship (MEIA = –22.5 + 1.71 POCT method, R = 0.950, n = 296) was found (BNP concentration: 5–5500 ng/l), with a significant bias (mean difference: 164.8 ng/l, p < 0.0001). Mean BNP concentration measured in 94 reference subjects (57 women and 37 men; mean age 43.5 ± 14.0 years) was higher with MEIA than POCT, (25.9 ± 32.7 ng/l vs. 11.7 ± 8.9 ng/l, p < 0.0001). The same trend was observed also in 202 cardiac patients (620.6 ± 1082.2 ng/l vs. 386.1 ± 594.5 ng/l, p < 0.0001). Our data suggest that MEIA and POCT have quite similar analytical performance but different clinical results. Then, different reference values, as well as cut-off values, should be taken into account for the clinical use of these two immunoassays.
