The study aim was to evaluate the performance of NADAL compared to that of the DiaSorin Liaison SARS-CoV-2 S1\/S2 IgG (DiaSorin) assay (gold standard). We conducted two cross-sectional studies in participants aged \u22652 years, in whom different blood substrates (whole blood vs serum) and sources (venous vs capillary) were sampled. The co-primary endpoints were agreement in IgG detection between NADAL on venous serum and whole capillary blood vs DiaSorin on venous serum. Among 128 participants, 23.2% had a positive DiaSorin IgG assay. The NADAL IgG on venous serum exhibited near-perfect agreement (\u03ba = 0.91) and high accuracy (0.94, 95% CI: 0.87\u20131.00), with a sensitivity of 0.88 and perfect specificity compared to DiaSorin; NADAL IgG on whole capillary blood exhibited moderate agreement (\u03ba = 0.77) and accuracy (0.84, 95% CI: 0.73\u20130.95), with a sensitivity of 0.68 and perfect specificity. As for secondary outcomes, when the two assays were compared within the same source (venous or capillary) but with different substrates (NADAL on whole blood vs DiaSorin on serum), strong agreement and high accuracy were observed. Within-test DiaSorin IgG assay on capillary vs venous serum showed near-perfect agreement and high accuracy. Within-test NADAL IgG assays on whole capillary blood vs capillary or venous serum demonstrated high accuracy. In conclusion, NADAL on venous serum exhibited near-perfect agreement and high accuracy with DiaSorin on venous serum but lower between-test performance on different blood substrates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Accurate serological assays are essential for assessing population immunity levels and identifying vulnerable subgroups with lower immunity on which to focus vaccination efforts. Although rapid tests may offer the possibility of easy point-of-care testing on whole capillary blood for these purposes, they may not be as robust as other assays when used on different blood substrates or sources than those in which they were approved. The observed variability in test performance across different substrates and blood sources highlights the importance of pretesting assays under the specific conditions in which they would be used to ensure optimal interpretation of the immune status in the community.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.03350-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]],"date-time":"2025-06-02T09:32:42Z","timestamp":1748856762000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of NADAL COVID IgG\/IgM rapid test and DiaSorin Liaison SARS-CoV-2 S1\/S2 IgG assay across different blood sources and substrates"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0979-0956","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Harika","family":"Dasari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01gv74p78","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Clinical Research and Knowledge Transfer Unit on Childhood Asthma, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine","place":["Montreal, Canada"]},{"name":"Departments of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Universite de Montreal","place":["Montreal, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claude","family":"Bourassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01gv74p78","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Optilab Montr\u00e9al-Sainte-Justine, Departments of Pediatrics and Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology Centre, Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine","place":["Montreal, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Renaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01gv74p78","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Optilab Montr\u00e9al-Sainte-Justine, Departments of Pediatrics and Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology Centre, Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine","place":["Montreal, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9cile","family":"Tremblay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0161xgx34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Centre Universitaire de sant\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al (CHUM), University of Montreal","place":["Montreal, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francine M.","family":"Ducharme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01gv74p78","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Clinical Research and Knowledge Transfer Unit on Childhood Asthma, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine","place":["Montreal, Canada"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0161xgx34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Montr\u00e9al","place":["Montreal, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41579-023-00878-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-822548-6.00080-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)02346-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm7316a2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/2021.10.13.21264968"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-020-17317-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2020.05.025"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591-020-0897-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.00247-21"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11040593"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.02020-20"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diagmicrobio.2021.115430"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_14_2","unstructured":"Inc.
