الملخص: | Background: Current diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection relies on RNA purification prior to amplification. Typical extraction methods limit the processing speed and turnaround time for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing. Methods: Here, we applied reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification directly onto human clinical swabs samples to amplify the RNA from SARS-CoV-2 swab samples after processing with chelating resin. Results: By testing our method on 64 samples, we managed to develop an RT-LAMP assay with 95.9 sensitivity (95 CI 86 to 99.5) and 100 specificity (95 CI 78.2–100). Conclusion: The entire process including sample processing can be completed in approximately 50 min. This method has promising potential to be applied as a fast, simple and inexpensive diagnostic tool for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. © 2022, The Author(s). |
