Recent studies show the coronavirus test used at the White House is telling people they don't have the virus when they really do. A top scientist at test-maker Abbott shares what the studies are getting wrong.

Ginsburg told Business Insider using tubes and liquid was allowed initially because it was an "urgently launched test" that the company wanted users to be able to validate independently.

Storing the samples in this fashion can dilute the sample past the test's "limits of detection," according to Ginsburg. When the test receives a sample that's under the limit, it says the sample is negative, Ginsburg said. Ginsburg said his team has attempted to contact researchers involved in the study with a number of questions, like what happened to the samples once they arrived at the lab, but hasn't been able to get many answers.The report from NYU isn't the only study to indicate issues with the Abbott test.a false negative reading 14.8% of the time, according to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health.
