Real-time reverse transcription (rRT)-PCR, which is the reference standard for the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, generally involves a time-consuming and costly RNA extraction step prior to amplification. We evaluated the performance of the AdvanSure One-Stop COVID-19 Plus Kit (LG Chem, Seoul, Korea), a novel rRT-PCR assay that can detect SARS-CoV-2 within 90 minutes using a streamlined RNA extraction method. In total, 509 nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens (SARS-CoV-2 positive: N=205; SARS-CoV-2 negative: N=304) previously tested using the PowerChek SARS-CoV-2 Real-time PCR Kit (Kogene Biotech, Seoul, Korea) were tested using the AdvanSure assay. The limit of detection (LOD) of the AdvanSure assay was determined using serially diluted inactivated SARS-CoV-2. The positive and negative percent agreements between the AdvanSure and PowerChek assays were 99.5% (204/205) and 99.3% (302/304), respectively. The LODs of the AdvanSure assay for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid and spike/RNA-dependent RNA polymerase genes were 672 and 846 copies/mL, respectively. The results show that the performance of the AdvanSure assay is comparable to that of the PowerChek assay used for routine SARS-CoV-2 testing, suggesting that the AdvanSure assay is a useful diagnostic tool for rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
