These laboratories reported in February 2020 that commercial primer and probe batches for SARS-CoV-2 detection were contaminated with synthetic control material, causing delays of regional testing roll-out in various countries. %G English %2 https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-04098507/document %2 https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-04098507/file/20-1843.pdf %L pasteur-04098507 %U https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-04098507 %~ IRD %~ PASTEUR %~ RIIP %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ RIIP_HELLENIQUE %~ OPENAIRE %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UNIVERSITE-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ PASTEUR_UMR3569 %~ GMV-ARN
