    Snippet: Quantitative RT-PCR of SARS-CoV-2 RNA is currently the method of choice for the diagnosis of Covid-19. In our DIRECT-PCR method, we used inhibitor-resistant enzymes and reagents to eliminate the RNA extraction step. The use of synthetic RNA as template obviated the need to handle viral nucleic acids. With fast DIRECT-PCR protocol, we achieved further reduction in assay time by optimizing the thermocycling conditions. We also validated the analyti.....
    Document: Quantitative RT-PCR of SARS-CoV-2 RNA is currently the method of choice for the diagnosis of Covid-19. In our DIRECT-PCR method, we used inhibitor-resistant enzymes and reagents to eliminate the RNA extraction step. The use of synthetic RNA as template obviated the need to handle viral nucleic acids. With fast DIRECT-PCR protocol, we achieved further reduction in assay time by optimizing the thermocycling conditions. We also validated the analytical performance of DIRECT-PCR on spiked crude samples and demonstrated its use on a portable platform.
