Demonstrates high sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in saliva samples, suggesting practical applications for rapid testing.
primers allows for higher sensitivity of detection, particularly when low numbers of copies are present (250 viral RNA copies). Further, the protocol is able to detect viral RNA in saliva samples. The procedure reported could be easily implemented in the generation of a new and sensitive rapid point-of care device for SARS-CoV-2 RNA visual detection.
