Key point:
Three Seegene Allplex™ Assays and a Hologic Aptima™ Assay were evaluated.

Excellent performances were shown for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza type A/B virus and RSV.

The extraction-free and LAMP assays allow increased testing capacity/productivity.

TTime is a new result parameter, which may be used as a surrogate for Ct-value.
