To assess the diagnostic sensitivity, 487 positive samples were collected. 405 cross-interference samples were tested to evaluate analytical specificity. All samples were tested with the MAGLUMI Syphilis (Chemiluminescence immunoassay, CLIA) Test and the obtained results were compared with the Abbott ARCHITECT Syphilis TP reference test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the MAGLUMI Syphilis (CLIA) Test was 99.96% (95% CI, 99.87-99.99%) and 100.00% (95% CI, 99.22-100.00%), respectively. The analytical specificity and the analytical sensitivity of the Test was 100.00% and 2.529 mIU\/ml, respectively.
