Background: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has had a serious impact on public health. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods are now the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Therefore, the importance of new tests with greater ease of use, faster and adequate performance. Objective: To determine the diagnostic performance of the Logix smart Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and WGene SARS -CoV -2 tests for the detection of SARS -CoV -2 compared to the RT-PCR Cobas® SARS -CoV-2 test. Methods: Diagnostic test study that included 180 remaining nasopharyngeal swab samples from ROE Private Clinical Laboratory patients. The samples were analyzed by the RT-PCR Cobas SARS -CoV-2 and the tests Logix smart Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and WGene SARS -CoV -2. Results: The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was greater than 95% for both tests. The specificity of the WGene SARS -CoV -2 test was 100%. The level of agreement obtained by the Kappa index for both platforms was almost perfect. Conclusions: The Logix smart Coronavirus Disease 2019 and WGene SARS -CoV -2 tests allow the detection of SARS -CoV -2 virus with adequate sensitivity and specificity; therefore, a further comparative study with other high-performance tests is recommended.
