Two extraction-free reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2

Abstract 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 isolation, purification and removing inhibitors. To address this limitation, we propose a simple method for testing R...
