^aDifferent mutation panels were used at different time periods as the assay was continually improved. ABDO V1 was used until 16 December 2021. Omicron V1 was used from 18 December 2021 until 3 January 2022. Omicron V2 was used from 4 January 2022 until 28 March 2022. Omicron V3 was used from 27 March 2022 onwards.
