Verification of analytical bacterial spectrum of QIAstat-Dx ® GI V2 and Novodiag® Bacterial GE+ V2-0 diagnostic panels

ConclusionsBoth QGI and NGE testing panels can improve laboratory workflow and patient management by providing user-friendly platforms that can rapidly detect a number of targets with one specimen. QGI was significantly more sensitive in identifyingC. difficile. Both methods had suboptimal detection ofSalmonella and this needs to be examined further. The short hands-on time and turnaround time are of value for on-demand testing and use in a high-throughput setting.
