Omicron detected just as well by antigen tests as original (WA1) SARS-CoV-2 strain, but Delta not so well, https://t.co/lsXnX5PL4D. Study performed with live, cultured virus (not heat inactivated or gamma irradiated).

We spent $1.3 billion https://t.co/zSA0rKJymo on possibly the poorest performing antigen test (based on data in EUA Instructions for Use). See distribution of detection limits for all approved EUA's. Limit of Detection Matters https://t.co/43l3cy5rlY for COVID antigen tests too!!

From my research lab manager on supply chain: “Just got the gel loading tips that I ordered 1 year + 4 days ago.  I put them on the metro shelf in the lab on one of the middle shelves.” At least they remembered us!!!
