COVID-19 At-Home Test kits may be exposed to extreme temperatures in transit, which may impact test sensitivity and specificity. We investigated assay ability to identify SARS-CoV-2 antigen after 24 h to 2 weeks in frozen, refrigerated, room temperature, warm, or excessive heat conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
