Diagnostic testing is important for managing the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). We
developed an optimized protocol for SARS-CoV-2 RNA extraction from the surface of the …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the etiologic agent of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Although other diagnostic methods have been introduced, detection of …

Standard diagnoses of SARS-CoV-2 infections are done by RNA extraction and real-time RT-
PCR (rRT-PCR). However, the need for RNA extraction complicates testing due to increased …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has prompted a need for mass testing to identify patients with …

Background One major challenge for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19 is

Introduction: The ongoing spread of pandemic coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused
by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of growing concern …

The need for timely establishment of a complete diagnostic protocol of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is demanded worldwide. We selected 15 …

Background The efficiency of isolation and purification of the viral genome is a critical step to
the accuracy and reliability of RT-qPCR to detect SARS-CoV-2. However, COVID-19 testing …

Background: Rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 is essential in order to restrict the spread of the
pandemic, and different approaches for SARS-CoV-2 testing have been proposed as cost …
