A low-cost molecular test for SARS-CoV-2 detection suitable for variant discrimination and community testing using saliva
2023-07-25
Abstract excerpt
The gold standard for COVID-19 diagnostic testing relies on RNA extraction from naso/oropharyngeal swab followed by amplification through RT-PCR with fluorogenic probes. While the test is extremely sensitive and specific, its high cost and the potential discomfort associated with specimen collection make it suboptimal for public health screening purposes. In this study, we developed an equally reliable, but cheape...
