Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, several virulent variants of which have emerged since 2019. More than 529 million people have been infected, and at least 6 million have died. Our aim was to develop a fast, accurate, low-cost method for detecting and identifying newly emerging variants of concern (VOCs) that could pose a global threat.
