Comparison of the N1, N2, and N3 assays in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention real-time reverse transcription PCR panel for detection of SARS-CoV-2 with 223 SARS-CoV-2–positive clinical specimens. Linear regression lines were fitted to Ct values, with regression equations and coefficients of determination (R2). A) N1 vs. N2; B) N1 vs. N3; C) N2 vs. N3. Ct, cycle threshold; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
