Rapid and Extraction-Free Detection of SARS-CoV-2 from Saliva by Colorimetric Reverse-Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
Rapid, reliable, and widespread testing is required to curtail the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We developed a rapid colorimetric assay using reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) on human saliva samples without an RNA purification step.
