背景：为了跟踪SARS-CoV-2在欧洲的传播，分散检测变得必要，需要迅速扩大参考实验室之外的检测能力。方法：我们通过在线问卷评估了欧洲医院实验室对SARS-CoV-2检测的准备情况，并列出了实施中的主要缺陷。结果：45%的被调查实验室在3月26日之前完成了检测，这在大多数国家进入了疫情的第一波。结论：在欧洲诊断实验室引入SARSCoV-2分子检测的主要实施障碍是是否有阳性对照和特异性小组。
BACKGROUND: To track the European spread of SARS-CoV-2, decentralized testing became necessary and test capacity needed to be expanded outside reference laboratories rapidly.METHODS: We assessed via an online questionnaire the preparedness of European hospital laboratories for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and listed the main drawbacks for implementation.RESULTS: Forty-five percent of the surveyed labs had a test in place by March 26th which is well into the first wave of the pandemic in most countries.CONCLUSIONS: The main implementation barriers for introduction of a SARSCoV-2 molecular assay in European diagnostic laboratories were availability of positive controls and a specificity panel.
