Abstract

Nucleic acid real-time PCR test has become the main diagnostic tool for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, and there are also drawbacks to these real-time PCR test kits. Additionally, it has reported high false-negative rates. A reliable and rapid test method is urgently required to briskly detect antibody response in a large number of infected patients and ensure prompt care for patients. Therefore, we report here a Luminex bead based multiplexed immunoassay to serologically diagnose the SARS-CoV2 infection and detect IgM and IgG response in COVID-19 patients. The technology can provide sensitive and specific detection using a low amount of serum samples in high-throughput screening platforms.
