Dear Mailbase,
I phoned a friend... Kerry Whiting, previous Consultant Biochemist and POCT Speciality lead has put this together for me.
Spreadsheet of antibody tests... rapidly changing field. This is our opinion - manufacturers can argue or submit corrections.
But it is a start.
Welcome all other suggestions.

Waiting for availability of reagents.
Thanks

Subject: POCT COVID-19 testing kits
Hi All
I am interested in how POCT can support the effort to test patients, staff and the public for COVID-19 infection. I am looking to collate information as follows:
- Supplier
- Test methodology
- Sample type
- Sensitivity and Specificity
- Review of validation data
- When to test to avoid false negatives
- Duration of test
- Lead time
- Automated reader compatibility
For starters anyway, so that an infromed choice on whether to adopt any POCT solution can be made.
I have been picking up information from multiple sources. It would be good if we could share and collate this. If any suppliers are on this mailbase please share.
Regards
Tony Cambridge
