Title: Rapid direct nucleic acid amplification test without RNA extraction for SARS-CoV-2 using a portable PCR thermocycler Document date: 2020_4_20
ID: e1oinu71_41
Snippet: Direct amplification of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA from samples without RNA purification has been developed, reducing hands-on-time, time-to-results, and costs. Viral lysis, reverse transcription, amplification and detection are achieved in a singletube homogeneous reaction taking less than an hour, and they can be performed on a portable thermocycler. Analytical validation was performed with sputum and nasal exudate. The DIRECT-PCR assay has a high se.....
Document: Direct amplification of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA from samples without RNA purification has been developed, reducing hands-on-time, time-to-results, and costs. Viral lysis, reverse transcription, amplification and detection are achieved in a singletube homogeneous reaction taking less than an hour, and they can be performed on a portable thermocycler. Analytical validation was performed with sputum and nasal exudate. The DIRECT-PCR assay has a high sensitivity of 6 RNA copies per reaction and is quantitative over a dynamic range of 7 orders of magnitude. This method may be useful during the current global Covid-19 pandemic in situations where resources are constrained or where timely results are needed.
