In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The Turnaround Time (TAT) values were incorrectly written as “PowerChek—1 h 30 min, Allplex—2 h 10 min”. The TAT values should represent the total time required, calculated as the sum of the Hands-on Time and PCR Run Time. Accordingly, the correct values are “PowerChek—2 h 20 min, Allplex—3 h 10 min”. The corrected version of Table 1 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
