Effect of heat inactivation and bulk lysis on real-time reverse transcription PCR detection of the SARS-COV-2: an experimental study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of heat inactivation and chemical bulklysis on SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Results: About 6.2% (5/80) of samples were changed to negative results in heat inactivation at 60 °C and about 8.
