| Method | SARS-CoV-2 | EV | NoVGI | NoVGII | FluA | RSV | CrAssphage | Phi6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NMP | 98% (41) | 14% (42) | 98% (42) | 100% (42) | 26% (42) | 0% (42) | 100% (42) | 100% (41) |
| PEG—low sample volume | 92% (36) | 26% (38) | 95% (38) | 100% (38) | 29% (38) | 0% (38) | 100% (32) | 100% (32) |
| PEG—high sample volume | 100% (42) | 17% (42) | 100% (42) | 100% (42) | 62% (42) | 7% (42) | 100% (42) | 100% (42) |
