Time curves visualizing the release dynamics of the final SARS-CoV-2 RNA results from the Alinity m (Abbott Molecular, Des Plaines, IL) and cobas 6800 (Roche Molecular Systems, Branchburg, NJ) analyzers in the testing of 564 nasopharyngeal swab samples in parallel across two 8-hour shifts. The sample-handling times (dark), instrument-handling times (light), and total hands-on times of each analyzer were measured by two independent observers (R.K. and A.O.V).
