Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a major public health
importance and its specimen needs to be handled safely due to concerns of potential …

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of heat inactivation and chemical
bulklysis on SARS-CoV-2 detection. Results About 6.2%(5/80) of samples were changed to …

Background Real-time reverse transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) is commonly used to diagnose
SARS-CoV-2 infection. Heat inactivation prior to nucleic acid isolation may allow safe …

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has spread widely throughout
the world since the end of 2019. Nucleic acid testing (NAT) has played an important role in …

Objective To evaluate a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-
LAMP) assay for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV …

The RNA purification is the gold standard for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in swab samples,
but it is dependent on the availability of chemical reagents. In this study, we evaluated the …

Novel Corona virus/Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or
2019-nCoV), and the subsequent disease caused by the virus (coronavirus disease 2019 or …

Background Current assays for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2) rely on time consuming, costly and laboratory based methods for virus …

Objective When using high-throughput batched diagnostic platforms based on RT-PCR for
SARS-CoV-2 detection, avoidance of the conventional nucleic acid extraction step can help …

There is a need to have more accessible molecular diagnostic tests for the diagnosis of
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 disease in low-and middle-income …
