Abstract

During pandemics, such as the one caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, simple methods to rapidly test large numbers of people are needed. As a faster and less resource-demanding alternative to detect viral RNA by conventional qPCR, we used reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). We previously established colorimetric RT-LAMP assays on both purified and unpurified SARS-CoV-2 clinical specimens and further developed a multiplexed sequencing protocol (LAMP-sequencing) to analyze the outcome of many RT-LAMP reactions at the same time (Dao Thi et al., 2020). Extending on this work, we hereby provide step-by-step protocols for both RT-LAMP assays and read-outs.
