This study optimizes RT-LAMP to enhance sensitivity and specificity in detecting SARS-CoV-2, suggesting improved diagnostic capabilities.

The optimized RT-LAMP assay achieved a sensitivity of approximately 85.25% and a specificity of 100%.
In direct use of pharyngeal swab samples, the assay yielded a sensitivity of 83.61% and specificity of 86.67%.
Adjustments in sample preparation and assay components were essential for enhancing assay sensitivity.
This RT-LAMP assay provides a rapid diagnostic alternative to RT-PCR, especially in resource-limited settings.

Fahimirad et al. (2025) studied this question.
