POCKIT Central PCR System for Detecting African Swine Fever Virus in Vietnam The document describes a study evaluating the POCKIT Central PCR system for detecting African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Vietnam. The system provides fully automated sample-to-answer detection of ASFV in 85 minutes using cartridges that integrate nucleic acid extraction and PCR. The study found the POCKIT Central system performed equivalently to the OIE reference real-time PCR method, with high analytical sensitivity and specificity. The automated system reduces hands-on time and human error compared to traditional PCR methods. It provides a simple workflow for rapid on-site detection of ASFV to help control the ongoing spread of the disease
